As a smoker I don't need to be told it's bad for my health by some miserable, pencil-necked dweeb that wouldn't know a moment of happiness unless he/she was making someone else as miserable as they are. This writer has it right.....we pay dearly in taxes for our smokes and it enrages me when those holier than thou politicians sue big tobacco companies.......just grandstanding is all it is. They'd wad their drawers if everyone stopped smoking because that is a big cash cow in WDC. The governments in this country need to "butt" out of the smoking business.......let individual business owners decide if they want smoking in their establishments! Bout' time too that people take a look at how these well organized, well funded leftists are slowly chipping away at our rights......not just whether or not we can smoke but what we can drive, what we eat, etc. Now excuse me while I light up. *~*
They will persecute the overweight, stigmatize SUV drivers and haul into court those who don't recycle.
They've got the money and the time and the lawyers.
