As a smoker, I've noticed a massive loss of appetite in the past few months. I never was a big eater, but now I'm hard pressed to finish a meal when I go out. A few other friends of mine (also smokers), have exhibited the same things. Correlation doesn't equal causation, but when my health and activity remain otherwise the same, and my appetite changes, one has to wonder.
I think it's time to switch over to hand-rolling. I've been debating getting an injector for a while now. This may very well be the straw that breaks it.
They won't stop until there is a class of people who can do whatever they please, and another class of low-lifes (us) that must be subject to their power, for their their (our) own good.
Then they can stop now, as this already exists today.
Until I read this, I used D'Addario strings on my guitar. Now that I see their name on that list, I will never use them again.
Thankfully, I don't make use of any of the products of those other companies.
That being said, there is no way to "vote with your wallet" anymore, because the corporations control everything, and shy of living an agrarian life in the middle of nowhere, your money will end up in their hands. Even if people on the whole turned against them, buying only locally made products, etc, the corporations would just lobby to have their way, and get it.

I'll definitely have to try them.

As if our current government gives any credence to The Constitution.
