Camel Cigarettes Introduces a New Blend With New Packaging

The Camel Cigarette Company has recently unveiled plans to redesign the packages of Camel Lights. This is not a bad idea, as changing the look of a product is some times helpful to sales. However the plans also include changing the blend of Camel Cigarettes. I am slightly skeptical of this. I have smoked Camel Lights for over fourteen years now. The flavor and blend of Camel Lights is why I smoke this brand. I am concerned that the new blend of Lights will be so different that I am forced to switch brands.

Cigarettes are hot right now because of the Anti- Tobacco movement. Some people have nothing better to do than gripe, and no one in America remembers to mind their own business. Smokers feel like they are being discriminated against, and they are. Is Camel switching blends in hopes of attracting new customers? Or is it something more sinister? Will the new blend of Camel be more addicting if possible? Are the folks at Camel hoping their customers will not be able to resist this new blend because of addictive additives?

Who cares? I will continue to smoke for as long as I feel like it. In fact there is no way I will quit now. I won't let big brother win this one over me. I absolutely hate how strangers take it upon themselves to lecture smokers. I hate the ignorant standonline.org commercials. I am amazed that this organization spends so much money to bad mouth the tobacco industry. I am amazed that we care for the health of people we do not know. It is pretty funny actually. Alcohol is so much more dangerous than cigarettes. As a country we are prepared to wipe tobacco out of our culture. Forget that our country is basically founded on tobacco. Who cares if tobacco farming is a way of life for some many hard working Americans?

Additionally Camel does have to do something for their loyal customers. Cigarettes are facing yet another tax increase. Cigarettes in the state of Ohio are going to be taxed an additional $6.50 per carton, in November. This is ridiculous and it is unfair that because you smoke cigarettes you are responsible for so many taxes. That is discrimination in my book. It is time the more powerful people, like the tobacco companies start doing something to help put a stop to this. If they can't then maybe the folks at Camel would be better off to send out more coupons more frequently. Instead of redesigning the cigarettes;

Several years ago the people at Camel had no alternative than to do away with camel cash, and no longer are you able to receive complementary cigarettes in the mail. I am an American; I am an adult. If I chose to smoke cigarettes, that is my business.
