I think its absolutely ridiculous that Americans everywhere are forced to pay an outrageous price in order to engage in a private, personal lifestyle habit. I understand the nation's views on smoking, but I don't really care since its my body, my money, my life. I don't condone smoking, but since I am not planning on quitting anytime soon, I feel like it is my right to smoke all I want. The price and taxes kept getting higher and higher to smoke, and I kept shelling out the money for it. I even went through a period of homelessness and still always managed to find a way to smoke. When I found out about all the cigarettes becoming FSC, that was the last straw. I was infuriated that no information was really addressed to the public. I can see the letters "FSC", but I basically had no clue that it was there ore what it meant until someone else pointed it out. It all made sense after I started reading about it and realized that my lung and throat irritation and stomach issues were probably a direct result of the FSC. I even lost my voice for about 2 weeks, literally I could not even whisper. I am now boycotting American cigarettes and am purchasing my cigarettes from overseas. They are cheaper and save me over 50% and also are not FSC. More and more people I know are beginning to boycott the FSC and ultimately, I feel that this will impact a huge loss for the tobacco companies. I feel that this was in no way whatsoever, a very intelligent move to enforce yet another condition and stipulation on our personal habits without even warning us what was coming... You have failed misererably...
