Truth about bidi cigars

[spottedowl]

I have been reading a lot about the different tobacco forms.  Someone told me that the reports are skewed to make bidi's worse than cigarettes because the gov't is unable to receive as much money from taxing.  Almost like what they pretend to do with marijuana (although they make tons more $ by having it illegal).  I haven't found any  information to corroborate that theory. Every thing i have found has been reported by the Bloomburg institute.  Any theories?

As far as I know all tobacco products have the same tax now. It use to be bidis, cigars, and loose tobacco didn't have a outrageous tax but now they do.

If you want a cheaper and safer way to get nicotine, you should look into E-cigarettes. That's what I use.

E-cigarettes work?  cool. I might try that.  thanks.  I dont think its the nicotine, its the buzz that I like.  That mellow feeling.

E-cigs work great. You just need to do some research on what you want because there's a lot of junky ones on the market. I can help you with that if you're interested in buying one.

It's the nicotine that gives you the buzz you like. The rest of the bidi is just harmful additives.
