(FUCK THE) FDA bans flavored cigarettes
Up in smoke: FDA bans flavored cigarettes : Consumer Reports on Safety.
Well, the fascists have banned my cigarettes. How do these assholes get away with this crazy banning bullshit?! I’m punished because younger people like flavored cigarettes more than the regular licorice flavored dreck. Yeah, I like them better than the regular butts, too, and I started smoking Marlboros when I was in Israel (and Time cigarettes and Rothschild cigarettes). When I found out about vanilla flavored cigarettes, I was very happy. This was about 3-4 years ago, about 15 years after I started smoking. Now, I’m forced to either go back to those shitty licorice cigarettes (yes, normal cigs are flavored with licorice, the “candy” of the time when they started to be mass produced), or I’ll have to find a dealer. It’s time to go commando, all because some do-gooder law makers think they’re doing it “for the chiiiiiiiildren.”
Fuck Obama, Fuck Congress, Fuck the bureacrats, you’ve just made me angrier… and a criminal.
Wouldn’t want to stand between you and candy.
Candy I can do without. However, don’t stand between me and my home made ice cream. :>
I wouldn’t want to have someone stand between me and that either. Why did you say that thing about a cookie?
You were angry, so I came up with a non sequitur that sounded funny.
Yeah. I’m ready to go militant as well. This is fucking bullshit. I loved cloves, and now we’ve got to risk importing them from Indonesia, and seeing if customs seizes them or not. I just spent a good $110 on 4 cartons, and if customs seizes my clove cigarettes, I’m punching a fucking baby.
Havoc,
ROFL
I like my Dreams Vanilla (French Blend) cigarettes, and now I can’t find the damn things anywhere. When my stash runs out, I’m gonna be punting small animals for stress relief.
Wondering about becoming a DIY MASTAH and making my own.
Hey if you can find where i can get them please let me know…i am just as pissed off as you are.
They have come out with a different version of them but they are more like a cigar…i don’t like them…please keep me posted….i am defffinitly on your side on this
I have even started looking for them in bellgium an other country’s and they are all sold out.

Hey Melissa,
Sorry for not responding sooner, but I’ve been looking for an answer to our problems, too. Unfortunately, I can’t find anyone selling my favored Vanilla (French Blend) Dreams cigarettes. I did see some Cherry (Jubilee Blend) Dreams cigarettes still available at http://allofourbutts.com, but I want the vanilla.
I may have to try a flavoring, so I looked into the Tasty Puff additives. I’ll buy some soon and review them here.

If I find a way to get actual Dreams cigarettes, I’ll tell y’all. *God Damned FDA, Congress, Obama, et al*
This pisses me off too. I get that it is more attractive to teens, but then ban all f cigs cause if they can’t get these then they will get whatever they can. I am ptfo. What is this? What is our country coming too? Why don’t you just ban alcohol too, you have to be 18 to buy smokes so what is the point. I think OBAMA used to smoke dreams and since he quite this is why he banned them. I think its a f joke. Let me know if you find them online. I hate regular smokes… I love my vanillas! MFAMFJNA ewww I am PO’d about this sh**
Oh and by the way thank you for the website to the jubilee’s they are a substitue to my vanillas! ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jojo,
You’re welcome for the link, and stay pissed. Let your congress critters know that this sucks and that they lose your vote for not only banning your favorite flavored cigs, but for raising taxes on your cigs, too. No taxes for those who earn less than $250,000/yr, ey? Bullshit.

I just smoked the last cigarette from my stash of Dreams French Blend! I have been smoking this kind for 9 years! I still can’t believe they have taken the right of choice from me! I am as PO as you, folks. Using the same justification why don’t the ban Fast Food kid’s meals as a poor choice of diet?
If anybody finds a way to purchase our favorite brand please post it as soon as possible. I have been searching and promise to do the same.
I SMOKED WHAT EVER BUTS WERE IN MY MOTHERS ASH TRAY WHEN I STARTED SMOKING AND NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE FLAVORED I SMOKED FOR 10 YEARS BEFORE I SMOKED MY FIRST FLAVORED AS FOR THE VANILLA DREAMS I FINISHED OFF MY LAST BOX FROM MY STASH ALSO BUT THE LOCAL TOBACCO STORE IS SELLING FILTER CIGAR MADE BY SWEET DREAMS THEY COME 12 TO A PACK FOR AROUND 4.00 BUT THEY JUST ARE NOT THEY QUITE THE SAME MAYBE ITS ALL IN MY HEAD I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH EVERYONE THIS IS NOT RIGHT NOTHING ABOUT IT IS JUSTIFIABLE I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY GET OFF MAKING THESE KIND OF DECISIONS LIKE THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT FOR THIS COUNTRY TO WORRY ABOUT
Yeah, my stash is now gone, too. I tried the Tasty Puff… nah, not working. I’ve now gone to meth lab tactics and am going to try to roll my own. If that’s acceptable, I’ll tell y’all, but I can’t find vanilla flavored tubes, so that’s a big drawback.
Victoria, thanks for posting your thoughts. MISTY, YOU’RE RIGHT, KIDS WILL SMOKE REGARDLESS OF FLAVORINGS. THEY DID BEFORE, AND THEY WILL AGAIN.
And that’s why I am so pissed about this. These people have to be truly retarded to think infringing on my rights is perfectly fine as long as it’s for “the chiiiillllllldrennnnnnnnnnn.”
This is a load of bull and we all need to start getting together to fight this FDA crap. They are banning everything useful. I just had my favorite supplements banned even though the three universities they hired to analyze it found that they shouldn’t be banned and FDA just banned them anyways. Then DEA scheduled them. Now all my investment, learning about the chemistry, learning about my body and how it functions chemically and how it metabolizes chemicals, all wasted. All the hardwork all wasted because I cannot keep my physique up without the supplementation.
Anyways, what about ALCOHOL? Far more dangerous, far more intoxicating, and FAR MORE APPEALING TO KIDS WITH THEIR FLAVORS. Think about this, Mike’s Hard Lemonade? Taste like SUGAR AND LEMONS. Teenage girls suck em down like kool aid. Smirnoff has many, many flavored alcoholic beverages. These are so much more appealing to kids and teens than some mildly flavored cigarettes! Plus you can’t buy them under 18, so whats the deal!? This is nothing more than them flexing their muscle, and they will do it again and again and again, banning one thing after another until we band together under the common cause and fight back. They want to take away soda now, the FDA actually will start regulating soda come Jan. 1st, 2010! They want to make it illegal to have soda under the age of 18. No joke! This is getting out of hand, and I’m sick of big brother, NWO and the elitists creating a slave nation out of us.
Better ban that alcohol too, under their own assessment of what is dangerous for kids, under the same principle it should be banned. If not then they are hypocrites and liars.
yeahh im pretty pissed i only smoke the dreamz (french blend) and im over 18 and because of the FDA i have to suffer because little kids want to smoke ? fuck that, thats unfair to everyone over 18 and who cares if people under 18 get a hold of them ? ITS GOING TO FUCKING HAPPEN ANYWAYS.
Yup, it’s just feel-good legislation that hurts more people than it may help. I didn’t start smoking with flavored cigarettes, I smoked regular Marlboros, but now I prefer the Dreams cigarettes. And now I can’t get them. Bastards.
Pissed off as well.
Obama is a fascist hypocrite and anyone who smokes who voted for the bastard or who buys Philip Morris ought be exiled from enjoying the sweet taste of tobacco.
Can’t find Sweet Dreams anywhere, not even online. Really fucked up. I’m no fan of Bush either but at least he didn’t deprive the American public from our right to choose if, when and what we would like to smoke.
Luke, remember it wasn’t just Obama, it was Congress that made the law. Henry Waxman, Democrat out of California, was the douche who put the bill up (H.R. 1256: Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act) which allowed the FDA to ban certain flavored cigarettes.

They’re all a bunch of flaming assholes for not understanding that they have no business blocking these products for sale. This crony capitalism (as John Stossel calls it) is infuriating, where big tobacco companies get to keep menthol cigs because they give enough money to politicians.
its so stupid. when i found out they were banning them i bought like 10 cartons. and now i cant find them online or anything. i like the cherry ones. they do still sell the pink ones and the rainbow. so y not the flavored. what do they not think a 15 yr old girl will want to smoke a hot pink ciggerette? why can they sell pinks but not the flavored. they arnt even that flavored to begin with! they are just better! GRRR is all i have to say
Don’t give them any ideas, they’ll ban anything they can as long as it gets them brownie points to get re-elected.
I had a mountain of vanilla cigs, but they’re almost all gone now. I kept the last 5-pack carton for special occasions, and I only have 4 packs left. Bastards and their moronic moralizing.
