not to mention the immigrant workers and their children who work in those fields being sprayed with those chemicals…but as long as the farmer who owns the fields dosen’t get sprayed well it’s ok them
Yep. One and the same.
And that’s “blubbering shitheel” to you, buddy.

Actually this makes sense. There has been a lot of research on alternate uses for tobacco. Biotechnology like creating a drug for Ebola. Plus biofuels from the seeds and plants.

Perfect job for the former Orange Overlord. 20 years from now, cryin’ Johnny can tape an anti-smoking PSA after his lung cancer diagnosis, a la Yul Brynner:
He will do far less harm there than he did in the House of Representatives. If he wants to poison himself, that’s his prerogative; let’s stop him from targeting children. I predict Big Tobacco will be gone within the next fifty years.

So in other words he’ll be making his living in an industry that relies on denying science while convincing people to keep buying a product that does them great harm. Well, there’s no denying that he has plenty of relevant experience.
I didn’t so much mean the farmer who might be in with Big Agra but in fact the people who do the farming.
I have a plumbing contractor who smokes, have had a carpenter in the past who smoked. I hated being around them. Even after they’d left the house their stink was still here.

Cos John Boehner always wanted what’s best for everyone, huh?
Note: This guy must stink like my aunt Celia.

Do they really think it’s a good idea to hire somebody high profile that’s likely going to die from their products within 5 years?
… of course he did…
‘my new job involves passing out envelopes and, BONUS, I get free smokes for life!!!’
There was another anti-smoking commercial on for a while. It showed a woman who’d lost her trachea due to smoking and had to talk with a device pressed to her throat so that her voice was artificially created, and it was horrifying. We’re rabidly anti-smoking chez blue since hubby has had two bouts due to smoking.

My aunt’s dead already, but when she dropped by you could smell her arrival… oh, and was also heavy coffee drinker, so she had that 5 day old soggy ashtray after a party in college. So, I’m sure what Boehener stinks like.

Raking in the big bucks from the Tobacco Industry that makes up what it lost to Surgeon General Warnings in the USA by selling cigarettes to children in foreign countries. Riding his Winnebago on the concrete fruited plain, stopping every evening at a Motel in time for Happy Hour 2 Gimlets for the price of one. Low brow sleazebag.
18 years without a cig here. Hardest thing ever, best thing ever.
