Notice No. 106: Standards for Pipe Tobacco and Roll-Your-Own Tobacco

View Comment

I really don't think you should reclassify pipe tobacco because that would increase our cost as consumers. Since I have switched to 'roll your own' cigarettes, I have not only saved over $100 a month in smoke purchases, but I don't cough as much, the reason being is that the tobacco used here is free from chemicals, unlike store bought brands. I can use that savings on other things, thus helping the economy. And I am still helping the economy buy my purchase. Reclassification of pipe tobacco would increase my cost, thus affecting my budget and my personal economy. Thank you for your time on this matter.
