Have you ever considered the smoking rate in the U.S. was very low. Until the U.S. Entered World War II. Then the government pushed cigarettes on the soldiers. It was in basic rations for 60 years. Then in the 20's feminism pushed smoking on women.

Now, because of people like Rob Reiner the government makes trillions of tobacco. Because states have no overhead, California makes more money off tobacco than any tobacco company. Probably other states too.

So, every time you smoke a cigarette you are doing what the government wants, and you are funding big government.

“So, every time you smoke a cigarette you are doing what the government wants, and you are funding big government.”

Good point, and I’m’m a smoker as you might have guessed.
To avoid the high Minnesota pre-packaged cigarette taxes I buy pipe tobacco and roll my own one at a time. (It’s less than 1/10th the cost)
Sometimes it’s the little things that make you smile.

Thanks for Karening
