Woody Allen was punished for satirizing the Catholic Church by showing a humorous cigarette ad in his movie. The priest smokes one and says “I smoke ‘em. He smokes ‘em.” (looks heavenward).
How was Woody Allen punished. I don’t think so.
Should they have celebrities doing ads for tobacco cigarettes?
Taxes are not directly proportionsl to use. Californians can grow a buttload of weed for themselves, and to give away, or sell illegally. I’d wager use is probanly up, ghough taxes have slumped.
