Banning smoking produces major social disruption.

The Law of Unintended Consequences starts kicking in, producing unexpected short term and long term results, mostly negative ones.

next they'll have to deal with the Capone of the nicotine prohibition era...

Awesome handle BTW.
Great comment! I couldn't agree w/ you more. It is about time that the mucky mucks hit their own coffers.
That was brilliant. They are forcing smokers to stay home & pay minimal taxes on entertainment-GOOD ONE GUYS
I smoke & enjoy the odd pull of the handle, as bad as that is, however it seems to me that last time I checked the only people profiting from VLTs is Govn. & Bar/casino owners.
Govn. takes 80% while the rest is divided between maintenance (gov.workers), rental, space & owners profits.
I have yet to see the kickbacks from the Govn from any of these taxes. But I open the paper, watch the news & usually there is some dimwit in office touring the world to see what flowers are in Timbuktu & yada yada yada.
