I like it! Now, do away with all taxes on tobacco so the product is affordable. Then let the smoker bank the savings, put it in his/her own medical savings account and pay for their own smoker related health care.

Oh, I know, no one would do that. They would spend the savings on donuts.

Sorry, I lost my head for a moment.

No, you didn’t. Cigarette taxes hurt the poor more than anyone else. That would be okay with me, except that I’m poor and my husband smokes.

The taxes are supposed to pay for healthcare for needy children. (Hah)

So, don’t ask me for any more money. I give at 7-11.
