FDA: Leave us alone !!!
An amazing freestyle show focused on current topics and evolving into a full blown dialogue on premium cigars, opioids, alcohol, the FDA, and the SBA. The "Arbitrary and Capricious" behavior the FDA has exhibited over the years is unacceptable. They allow over 750,000 people to die from opioid abuse over the past 2 decades through FDA approved drugs, yet they want to raise the false claim that premium cigars are harmful to people, when there is zero proof in any scientific journal on the matter. The Boutique Cigar Association stands firm on the topic that small family owned boutique cigar companies that produce premium cigars are not the problem when it comes to tobacco. All of the member companies combined import less than 3,000,000 cigars a year into the United States. That represents a consumer base of less than 0.0005 % of the U.S. population. Boutique Cigar companies and/or Premium Cigar Companies are not the problem.
