The committee adopted an amendment by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., that would ban clove cigarettes, reversing a controversial decision by Kennedy to allow the FDA to make that decision.
Kennedy, the panel's chairman, said he was responding to several senators who contacted him with concerns that a ban on cloves would not be compliant with World Trade Organization rules. But Kennedy agreed to the ban after several senators objected.
Most cloves are marketed in Asia, and Philip Morris, a unit of New York-based Altria Group Inc., recently launched a Marlboro cigarette flavored with cloves in Indonesia.

Good decision. An ex of one of my friends used to smoke kreteks and they stink worse than any other smoke... except cigars maybe. Someone make them ban cigars too, please.

But why are they banning them though? I can't find it in the link.

A few of my friends smoke cloves. I wonder what they think of this.

the goth comment made me snort.

true story.

pbradley · 08.01.2007, 03:36 PM

I don't know any goths. My friends that smoke cloves are actually more on the hippie/hipster bent.

I can guess that it's because the natural anesthetic in cloves makes you unable to feel the pain of any damage to your lungs. You are numb and don't notice what they are doing to you.

...but they make your lips taste sweet and give you a head rush!

I personally think that a ban like this is stupid. Put warnings on the packages, tax em higher to help with health care costs, and let people decide what they are going to do for themselves.

Cigarettes are silly, but the only cigarette smell I can even half-way stand is clove smoke. Those things smell great!!! I know a chick at my work who smokes nothing but cloves. She said she will absolutely never touch another cigarette............. so, yeah, she'll probably kill herself now. And she IS "goth".

Clove cigarettes are a ridiculously atrocious smoking experience.

And, they cause oral cancer in a jiffy.

Silent Dan Speaks · 08.01.2007, 05:02 PM

Fuck! I love cloves. It's like smoking Christmas.

atsonicpark · 08.01.2007, 05:16 PM

haha.

quote of the day.

Silent Dan Speaks · 08.01.2007, 05:53 PM

I'm serious. I'm gonna go and stock up on them. They're just so damn tasty and good.

total-trash · 08.01.2007, 05:55 PM

they taste yummy and burn really slowly.

phoenix · 08.02.2007, 04:02 AM

how can they do this and not ban tobacco cigarettes?

you americans are idiots.

pbradley · 08.02.2007, 04:16 AM

There's a pretty big wave of anti-smoker sentiment here so don't think a cigarette ban is too improbable.

You had to get repped.

atsonicpark · 08.02.2007, 07:44 AM

why were ANY cigarettes allowed to exist to begin with?

mellonmellow · 08.02.2007, 07:47 AM

I don't smoke. But I personally prefer the smell of cloves to regular cigarettes. I might as well enjoy my slow death to second hand smoke.

Silent Dan Speaks · 08.02.2007, 11:41 AM

Does anyone understand why they did this?

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.02.2007, 12:11 PM

smoking bans work. ireland is a proof of this. its great to get home from the pub and not reek of fag smoke. now understand i dont smoke cigarettes but i do smoke the broken cigs, stuck with blue rizla and laced with the wonderful brown shit, or green but thats rare here in ireland. its working in irelnd for years and now in the uk as well.. ban em all, the only problem is dumb fucks not using ashtrays and littering the ground with the butts.....

val-holla-ing · 08.02.2007, 06:31 PM

i smoked cloves for a while, until i quit smoking, period.

i can't really see the point in this ban. what's next? banning those nice little listerine breath strips?
