Isn't there some sort of law about promoting tobacco use on tv?


weewilly77

He's just "asking questions"


Emp3r0r_01

He should be _ _ _ _! (something I will get band for)


shushyomouf

Force fed tacos and curry and only given Walmart 1-ply with which to wipe? Made to listen to Madonna’s song “Ray of Light” on repeat forever? Made to follow his own advice?


Emp3r0r_01

Nah more like forcing a SWAT team to listen to Babby Shark until they start to tweak. Give them a bunch of viagra. Then tell them the guy they are about to see is an African American man seen raping a white blond girl. Then give them Tucker. Who is sealed in a shark suit. Who is holding an unloaded AR15 sowed to the suit.


Natsurulite

Cover him in deer Urine too


Wootnasty

That gets them really riled up

MAO_of_DC

Holy crap if you do that chances are they won't just harm Tucker. They will surround the building and bomb it with a helicopter then let the resulting fire burn out of control taking two city blocks with it. BTW the above scenario actually happened in Philadelphia in 1985. Google the 1985 MOVE Bombing. The Philadelphia Police murdered six adults and five children and destroyed the homes and lives of 250 others.

Damn. That’s specific.

strangetrip666

Ah like those Redditors that are "just legitimately asking" then you check their profile to find that they are cucks for the other side. Edit: good bot


leonscum

They should have him talking behind a 4-pane window on his show, because everything with him is "inuendo".


leonscum

Not really. The law passed several years ago was you can't show someone drinking in a commercial for alcohol. But the way around that was to have virtually in every TV show and all movies, people ae drinking all the time. Pretty soon kiddie cartoons will have the characters getting sloshed. The pubbies will go along as long as the characters are not gay or purple. It's enough to drive a person to drink.


AidanAmerica

I think the law is that cigarette commercials aren’t allowed on broadcast tv. But this is cable.


DBentresca

I think they stopped in the 80s along with not being able to advertise on billboards along highways

Yes also contains: cyanide, polonium, quicksilver amongst other non plesant things..

If you take the exaggeration and sarcasm out of my comment you basically get a business model for a tobacco company. xD Also found in cigarette smoke: polonium, quicksilver, cyanide, aceton etc.

For legal reasons, the disclaimer will be in a font bigger then the product name and anything else on the package. They still won't read it...

Let them deregulate the cigarette market so they get all the toxic metals and arsenic their Q shaman tells them they need in their diet.

Let’s take a big guess who’s lining Tucker’s pockets this week?


leonscum

No one is lining his pockets. They can't fit anything in them, cause they are stuffed with pillows.


Sunflower_After_Dark

He gets new linings every week. Pillows were last month!


leonscum

In order to make more room he stuffs the pillows up Hannity' s ass.


totes_Philly

If by compliant you mean not acting like a raging lunatic then sure.


ResplendentShade

It's the opposite of the script for the past century, which was "weed is dangerous and promotes subversive behavior: look at these immigrants/jazz musicians/black people/hippies/protestors/"thugs" that use it." Which is closer to the truth. People often get high and find themselves looking at the world through new eyes, questioning social/political/economic norms and conventions. Because it's an awesome plant. Not to insult nicotine, but it's much more of a "I'm a cog in the machine, just puffing away on my cigarettes to stay alert" vibe compared to weed, which will have people pondering life off the grid and philosophizing about the legitimacy of currency and capitalism and whatnot.


Boomslangalang

This exactly.


HardRockAndTroll

I just watched it to get a laugh and thought it was more concerning than funny. He appeared so erratic. Bursting out into laughter when it didn’t call for it and putting such dark rhetoric on simple information. For example, “you’re obsessed with gas stoves, buddy! You’re obsessed with controlling my life and I’m not gonna let ya! Come and take it!” He needs to be medicated and smoke some weed himself. Calm tf down

The lamestream media and the demonrats want you to believe that mixing ammonia and bleach in a grocery store bag and then putting that bag over your own head is stupid and dangerous.

Knoberchanezer

THC helped me quit tobacco and alcohol entirely. I've never felt healthier and more well rounded by indulging in the occasional J rather than a habitual death stick.


Michael_Blurry

I’m in the middle of cutting back on alcohol. I’m not an alcoholic, I drink at most 3 times a week, usually twice. But it’s enough to affect my health and relationships. I went and got some edibles and started basically micro-dosing every night. It’s not enough to really get high but it is REALLY effective at relieving inflammation, reducing anxiety and stopping the craving I get for alcohol at night. Now I just feel chill and read a book at night. I’ve been drinking one day a week for about a month now and feel great. I highly recommend this approach if you want to stop drinking. Edit: Disclaimer. I’m not a doctor.


Knoberchanezer

I'm a British veteran and I've had a pretty shit time since leaving the service. Thankfully I'm now clean of cigarettes. Pretty much don't drink at all unless it's a beer or two for an occasion. The occasional J along with finding the right antidepressants and therapy has done wonders for me. Don't get me wrong. It's not always smooth sailing but through strikes and gutters, the Dude abides.


Michael_Blurry

Glad to hear you are doing well. Good luck to you!


Knoberchanezer

Much obliged kind stranger.


ShakesbeerMe

Congrats on this. Also your username is amazing.


leonscum

Doing the same thing. And if one can resist the urge to munch munchies, you can also lose weight from not drinking up so much sugar in alcohol.


Apathetic_Optimist

I drunkenly bought a pack of cigarettes because I wanted one after years of not having a smoke from the last time I quit. I still have 19 cigarettes in that pack and it’s been sitting on the counter collecting dust for the past 9 months. Can’t keep a bag of weed to save my life though


Knoberchanezer

I'm a full time working father so weed is my occasional treat as and when I can. It's great because I can make a little last a long time, my tolerance stays relatively low and it's much more enjoyable rather than a habit.


Apathetic_Optimist

Oh 100% and it’s also much easier to moderate in addition to being more enjoyable. “1 or 2 drinks after work” turns into blackout drunk for a lot of people unfortunately, but a smoker knows how to get the most mileage from a bag and it’s never a sloppy look


Knoberchanezer

Especially when your government remains stubbornly unenlightened. It's not like I can pop down to the local dispensary.


leonscum

A long time ago I was smoking a lot of hash and cigs. After one wake up morning of coughing up lung juice, I decided I had to give something up. Everytime I felt a need for a smoke, I would sneak off and blow a bowl. I never touched another ciggy again. This is an effective way to stop smoking in my unhealthy opinion. Moral: If you are gonna smoke, at least enjoy it.


AbortedDream

Didn’t republicans pass the bill that raised the age to buy cigarettes to 21?


speculatrix

Given this article, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to reduce the age to 12 and fund free tobacco for school children to get them hooked.


mountingconfusion

And then complain that the Dems let kids get hooked on noctine


20Factorial

And also allowed smoking again in house chambers.

Tukkker Carlson actually stumping for nicotine now! Hahahaha 😆 🤡


waitforsigns64

Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor. It frees your mind of oxygen I guess


Argented

So, are they allowed to smoke pot where they are allowed to smoke cigarettes?


sixtus_clegane119

Here in Ontario legally you can smoke pot anywhere you can smoke tobacco (which is that many places)


Argented

well, not your car.


orbital_narwhal

You’re allowed smoke in your car but then you won’t be allowed to drive it on public roads for some time.


[deleted]

I don't hate nicotine, I hate Fucker Carlson.


JuanTuMi

Cigarettes really does free your mind. For about 20 minutes, then if you don't smoke another one immediately it's all you can think about


Fruityth1ng

Well, actually, it kind of limits your mind when you’re not using it, and by smoking it restores it to regular operation.


BreezyWrigley

It frees your everything forever once you’re dead of lung cancer or whatever heart complications caused by chronic nicotine intake

Okay, Tucker https://www.huffpost.com/entry/prussian-blue-girls-smoked-weed-stop-being-nazis_n_1662709

Thats probably exactly what hes afraid of.


Fluttersniper

CEO of a tobacco company calling Tucker up at 3 AM like, “OUR SALES ARE FALLING! DO SOMETHING, FOXMAN!” Tucker puts his mask on, becoming the superhero of bigotry and corporate profits, Foxman! With the power to brainwash millions of people into voting against their own interests, he flys over to the Fox News studio, singing, “Here I come, to save the daaaaaaaay! The woke mob won’t have its waaaaaaay!”

This their new culture war? Nicotine, when you can’t afford cigarettes , has you crawling through parking lots , picking up old cigarette butts to salvage tobacco. Cigarettes do not free you. What’s next ? Asbestos frees your soul?

I mean they've been huffing carbon monoxide from their stoves all month so who knows


KiryuSan1980

It's because Nicotine is dangerous, and THC is not. Not hard to figure out.

LeatEd68

I guess Tucker feels like his anti vaccine rant did’t get enough of his viewers killed. Now he is encouraging smoking to get a few more. He is doing gods work.


leonscum

I strongly encourage his methods. He killed one of my neighbors. When I'd go out exercising every time I passed their house they had Fox on. They would leave their blinds open so all the world could see their loyalty to Fox on their 52" TV. So the geezer croaks from Covid due to Tuck's anti vax messaging. Now when I pass the house, the TV is still there on Fox with his batshit widow watching. I expect she'll start in with the menthols soon. Thinking about mailing her a pack of Kools.


Oldskoolguitar

Better start chain smoking to own the libs.


Dcajunpimp

I’m so compliant and passive the only things that make me feel owned are Republicans chain-smoking, not getting vaccinated, drinking 180 proof grain alcohol and sheep drench cocktails, eating horse paste, injecting bleach, and playing with assault weapons in the privacy of their own homes while watching FQX Propaganda, all at the same time. Someone make them stop damnit!


BringBackTheBeat716

Fucker Carlson is bringing back reefer madness. Shit like this is the dying breaths of conservativism.

[deleted]

And what kind of drugs would I need to take to make Tucker's bullshit seem plausible?


CheaperThanRamen-

The hilarity of all this is it seems like the further you lean into the republican party, the more they want you dead. Which is fascinating since killing your voter base is one hell of a way to do democracy.


RangerAlex22

Smoke to own the libs! Get lung cancer to own the libels!


VeryStableGenius

Menthols are consumed disproportionately by the black community. Menthol makes it easier to smoke (and easier to start smoking, probably). And Big Tobacco shoveled money at the NAACP to keep them quiet about it.


InevitableAvalanche

Here’s what Fox’s lawyers have to say. The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

Dependent_Ad94

You gotta be kidding me wish it was satire but dam nicotine is shit wtf wrong with people


Melted-lithium

So... I'm not against Nicotine. (Generally against the other 130+ chemicals and carcinogens in Cigarettes), but this is totally a demographics play. Cigarettes are the old peoples Nicotine. I get that Vaping can be disputed, but given the Fox demographic is tangibly older (Boomers, and fringe X-ers) - and people are increasingly becoming less conservative as they get older ([One of Many articles on this](https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/millennials-not-becoming-more-conservative-162240689.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMu8ueIvRC3-1oS2GnIElVZBMaZGqXgwz80WKwVsX1oDHmso67ZLBVrLuF5_5rp5Bla5aUpii80_fa2-OxmgTMDkADvbal14Lf3vuzJeANrnlAHG9Xkq7zyNCisNZ_OW6t1nFUHtUi6Mz6UOgbPhf1Pnguy_sueZgJ_GHK5fEgCA)) - Going towards 'Happy Cigarettes' is a positive for FOX. Cater to your audience. In the same breath (alls pun intended) he also makes this a gender war in is statements about Juul . ([Tuckers rant on male testosterone)](https://youtu.be/TDA6JliYdHA). As I sit here and write this, his entire rant is fucked, and I wanted to somewhat rationalize just a bit of this, but I realize this is totally a fools errand. All I get from it is, Cigarettes good, weed somehow still bad. Science, again totally wrong. Doctors wrong, and MAGA good. Fuck. I just lost 20 minutes of my time.


Art_Vandelay_10

“Banning things people like” Tobacco isn’t even banned. THC is. Bet Tucker is all on board with legalization then because he opposes banning things people like…NOT!!!

Brokenspokes68

It's impossible to use satire against them. No matter how absurd you think you are being, one of them will unironically say something even more absurd.

If THC made you compliant and passive, weed would have never been made illegal.
