Exclamation Smokers letting it happen - I'd rather fight than switch

Who can say what any particular smoke shop that claims to not report orders will do when faced with the ATF kicking down their doors, confiscating their inventory and throwing the owners in prison? I haven't heard of that happening at any Native owned online shops. One online smoke shop that we're familiar with did disclose orders after they met the government's extortion machine. That shop is offline now. Hopefully, they won't be coming back.

It seems to me that the bill making tobacco deliveries illegal would be talked about more often by smokers. Why don't smokers contact their politicians and tell them to say NO to it? It seems like smokers are just giving up and letting a few politicians and anti's walk all over them. Smokers need to sign all the petitions, send letters and emails to politicians and get all their smoking friends onboard to try and stop it. We're all being rounded up for the slaughter house by these few politicians and antis. FSCs w/o testing first, FDA control now, the new high taxes and now this bill coming to make tobacco deliveries illegal are all hitting us smokers hard and it appears to me that smokers are letting it happen.
