Starting this month, every cigarette sold in Kentucky must be fire-safe. The cigarettes feature special technology to help prevent fires, but some customers feel like they're the ones getting burned.

Oh great. The typical non-smoking control freak has spoken. NOT saying all non-smokers are control freaks - it's your right to NOT smoke, just as it is mine to smoke.

Josh Hubbard is telling it like it is, Quote; "cigarettes taste like crap." May I add, and people smoking them also smell that way.

in one week a drunk killed two wonderful people in Whitley County and now my taxes will have to pay to prosecute him and then house him and all our government can do is bitch about smokers--smoking kills the smoker not innocent bystanders--and I don't want to hear about second hand smoke because true research doesn't support the complaints

Since Josh Hubbard and Candid don't taste or rate my taste for me, I will testify that cigarettes taste wonderful. I love to smell a fresh lit cigarette.

Buffy, what are you & Linda going to do? You've been making the road trips to Kentucky for your smokes. Will you still go there if the smokes don't taste as good as the Ohio ones?

From the article: "I do understand why they did it, as a safety precaution," said Katie West. "I think that was good, but the cigarettes don't taste near as good as they used to."

"No one likes it," said Freeman. "But there's no alternative except to go to Tennessee and pay more. So they buy them and complain."

Josh Hubbard sums up the problem: "Cigarettes taste like crap."

Where will you buy your smokes now?

I agree 100%! Smokers need to stand up for their rights! How about additional taxes on alcohol, fast food etc. Because we all know, alcohol abuse kills innocent people, fast food causes obesity which causes many health issues including death. So, take it easy on smokers ... it's our choice! Our government is not supporting my habit, my housing, my medical etc.
