So the other day I'm chatting with a lawyer friend of mine (who happens to be an addict a well - but he just uses once in awhile and can stop anytime he wants - yeah right - anyway, so that's another story). He works with this older dude who happens to be one of the top sought after trial lawyers in the country and recently started representing big tobacco around the country. My friend told me how they will go the distance and fight to the bitter end on stuff lately.  Anyway, so lawsuits don't really cut it.

So what more should we do beyond hanging out in our little corner of the web? Let's think big. How can we spread the hate for nic?

Admins - ever come across any ideas in the past few years? 

I just feel we have a duty to mankind as silly as that sounds. All of us were owned by the bitch and now tell it to fuck off every single day. Maybe we're on to something bigger here. Let's not just rely on someone stumbling across KTC on a google search. This shit is huge.

Hell I'm speaking of pure ignorance here cause I don't know. Are there any truly legit lobby efforts out there? 

I don't know. Just a thought on this early Friday morning. Maybe I'm still riding out the battle I had with big insurance this week. Big tobacco is a different animal though and a gnat like me is immaterial but what can we do?
The most recent and largest event so far...

Our members donated the $2,500 to get to this event
There have been other efforts to spread the word as well. Chewie leads the charge in most of these efforts. If you have any ideas, I can guarantee we are all ears. ANYONE having any ideas concerning spreading the word, Speak Up!
Here are some of the ongoing efforts by both Admin and members in the form of blogs and websites...

Cool. The link to the event didn't work - is that the deal that was in Austin? Yeah, it's a daunting thing to think we can have an impact on the "big picture" but damn, I wish there was something.
Ag I agree I would like put US tobacco out of business, I can describe other things I would like to do to US tobacco and their exec's but it gets little intense even for KTC....
In the mean time there is something we can all do, get anyone on here and quitting that we can and helping every newby that shows up. It is not swinging for the fences but every customer we take from them and help lead to freedom hurts them in the pocket book. When something bigger comes a long count me in, until then lets kill the mother fuckers one customer at a time.
I'd curb everyone of those mother fuckers.
I agree with everything, but from my conservative standpoint, who are we to take away something from someone else cause we can't handle it?

I am a HUGE 2nd amendment lover, so I hate it when people try to tell my guns kill people. Dipshits kill people, but I bring it up because it is similar.

America, land of freedom.

But I still hate the nice bitch so i guess im torn.
MNG...look at it this way- According to the Declaration of Independence, your inalienable rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nicotine is put in tobacco products to hamper your ability to choose to quit, in other words to deprive you of your liberty. As a consequence of that many are deprived of life. And it is hard to pursue happiness when you have cancer.... Therefore nicotine is against all three of your inalienable rights.

Now lets hurt em!
Yeah, I don't think it is the same. Guns are only dangerous when not used properly or inconsistent with laws. On the other hand, there is no safe use of nicotine. 100% of the time it is bad for the user.

Anyway, I'm not naive but just wish there was something legitimate that could be done that was more than just supporting folks who come here (and that is huge so not minimizing the importance of that). I may start small and research political filings and see if any of the politicians in my neck of the woods received financial support in any way from the tobacco industry. If so maybe I'll try and become a thorn in their side. Anyway, thanks for the dialogue. I'm interested in this event that KTC participated in early this year (prior to my joining). I want to get involved with it next year one way or another.
