It's done, another thing scratched off of my non-existent bucket list.

I AM NOW A VOTER!!

I kind of wish I had the opportunity to talk to sprots a little bit more about a couple issues, but I think that the ones I had the most questions about were relating to city changes. And I actually voted to increase nicotine taxes! What, who is this person?!?!?!?

I saw on the news about the long lines and, when they showed the footage, it appears they don't even have the machines any more so the mystique is missing. So I decided to forego the sticker and just drop off my ballot. Which I did, today.

Even though I still harbour no illusions that my vote makes a damn bit of difference, I still felt a little bit of pride when I slid that bad boy in the drop box like a true Rocky Mountain badass!

Yay, Earl! :mrgreen:

Thanks for voting Yes on the nicotine tax.

I'll provide my reasoning, which may differ from yours and which you may safely ignore. Every time the price of nicotine products goes up, the number of youths and new youth users goes down.

Actually, saying "new youth users" is sorta redundant. Among adults over 21, as far as I know, the only substance where usage is increasing is cannabis, where older people use it for pain relief. Cigarette usage in our county has dropped to less than 14 percent.
