If memory serves me correctly the reason it didn't pass was because the Hollywood types vigorously protested that it would close down their cigar bars. See, even Dems understand simple economics. If you upset campaign contributors you don't get their funds.

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah

Came across thread posted by Bill today, certainly appears there's at least 1 resident of Utah who knows how to party. Don't want to dump on the great state of Utah, as a resident of Ca. guess can't point fingers, but if I lived in Utah I would start looking for Bill's house.

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah

I don't see how this can even be legal to make this kind of ban! Its freaking crazy, somebody I'm sure will end up challenging this.

I don't know what the Utah State Tax is on Cigars, but sounds time me like this may be a case of push out the B&Ms and the then ban the internet sales and bingo they win. Time to move LOL

Oh yeah, there was a little B&M on Highland Drive (here in utah) called Double B Cigars, it was literally run out of business, along with a couple other B&M's the owner of Double B named off while I was chatting with her. What's happening here is absolutely ridiculous.

I say we lobby for massive coffee taxes. A cup of coffee contains over 400 known carcinogens, so we know what's best for you. Let's see if the libs dig on that one...

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah

Easy enough, we will all have to adopt a BOTL from Utah and have their product shipped to our place and then on to them. A pain, but thats what family does.
Our AG in Wahington wants the same law passed, I may be asking someday myself.

Great idea Vinnie. I would be willing to help, but I'm pretty far away from Utah.
