ive already emailed my representatives. i am going to be sending hard copy in the next day or so.
cigar rights of america helped me with those letters. even if that is the least that you do, it is a push in the right direction.
i recommend that you have your own words at the beginning of the letter to take away from the "form letter" atmosphere.
please contact your representatives.
Some of the measures FDA could consider include:
- Ban on walk-in humidors, self serve cigar displays, and mail-order cigar sales;
- Ban on all flavored cigars, that are enjoyed by legal-age adults;
- Deface ornate, decorative cigar boxes, often considered an art form with grotesque images;
- Ban on cigar events where free cigars (samples) could be available to legal-age adults;
- Limits on cigar marketing and advertising;
- Imposition of new 'user fees' [tax] on cigars, to finance regulations;
- Limits on special release and small-batch cigars, due to mandates that cigar blends be submitted to FDA for pre-approval before release;
- Limits on nicotine levels on cigars to near zero, severely impacting the flavor of cigars;
- Ban on marketing cigar merchandise.
this is about more than just tobacco or cigars, it is about the right for a grown person to live their life as they see fit.
