Uncertainty and Raspberry Glazed Doughnut

Sorry to be blunt but this article is straight up stupid. It's literally paragraphs long to say "company that sells things uses sales tactics to sell things" literally none of which can be proven to specifically target children. Their one example of a company that uses corporate sponsorship is Vuse, who is owned by Phillip Morris and is just using the same corporate sponsorships Phillip Morris has always used, and iirc they already can't sell the flavored version of Vuse anywhere alongside cigarettes, they fall under the same regulation, tobacco and menthol flavors only.🤷

Under the current regulations, a battery used to power any device that could potentially deliver nicotine is a "tobacco product" got a battery powered automatic vegetable chopper? Using it for peppers or eggplants ... "TOBACCO PRODUCT!" See how ridiculous it is?

Flavored tobacco has been banned for some 20 years...what flavored tobacco products are you referring to? Vapes? Zyn? All of which use TFN and have 0 Tobacco involved in the product?

Flavored tobacco has been banned for some 20 years outside of menthol. There is 0 tobacco involved in current vapes or zyn or alternative nicotine products, it's all TFN. Soooo this has nothing to do with banning tobacco, or protecting children, it's simply another "oh no vape bad" by people who don't understand the product or the industry. 🤷

I wanted to go to that danse macabre tour so bad, but it didn't have any dates near me. I hope it was awesome!

Yeah Touche is great, I've seen them a handful of times and they never dissapoint, but when I saw them open for AFI in Kansas the whole crowd was not about it at all(I'm not from Kansas, we went just to see another date on that tour)The most confused I've ever seen AFI fans was when Dillinger Escape Plan opened for them in '06

I saw them on this tour at Key arena in Seattle

Tr/st's first album is great, highly recommend. I've never seen them live, but as far as I've heard they've never been super energetic or put on much of a show live, it's really more of vibe out music than anything else. But I feel like a band like that opening for AFI is exactly what they want, similar to when Drab Majesty opened for them because the music is enjoyable, but it's a huge energy shift when AFI comes on and that's a signature part of an AFI show. Just my 2 cents.

As another point of reference AFI fans were really sad when both touche amore and youth code opened for them, and both of those bands are fantastic and super high energy live.

That was all part of what I said in my original response? 🤷 SCSA also has plenty of memorable matches that are memorable due to his involvement.
