Now we have our President (and a smoker!) signing into law a regulation outlawing hand-rolled cigarette operations, which kills jobs while also punishing smokers who don't want the chemical additives in the cigarettes offered by the major tobacco companies. The regulation was lobbied for by the major tobacco companies, put into legislation at the request of a Democrat Senator, and signed into law. But it should bring the government more tax revenue, so I guess we've got that going for us. Apparently that is all that matters.
