Help Fix the Biggest Threat to Pipe Tobacco

We need the TTB (Tobacco Tax Bureau) to to adopt the Pipe Tobacco Council’s proposed definition to differentiate Pipe Tobacco from Roll-You-Own (RYO) cigarette tobacco as proposed in rulemaking Docket TTB-2010-0004. Without this definition, pipe tobacco is in danger of having it's tax rate equal that of RYO, which threatens the very existence of pipe tobacco.

Pipes are completely different from cigarettes stop the taxation insanity
we can thank people like Steve Cohen (TN) and Lloyd Doggett (TX) for making this regulation a reality...
@ least with Ciggy's it dosen't have all the chemicals & fire paper!! Tax the processed tobacco products!!!!!
leave our smokes alone.
why not place more tax on alcohol. you can drink in public places, get drunk and kill people. a desigated area is great, but how about the attorneys who actually sponsor public advents where beer is served? Is this a ploy for business and if you leave someone's house and/or function are they not responsible for the consequences thereafter. Don't understand that one. People are going to smoke. How about taking the tax some of these politicians DO NOT pay and use it to good use instead of the common people. Really, I thought this was a free country. Hello?
Where do WE draw the friggin line? .. This has got to STOP!! Damn!!
