Some assumptions seem to be raging.
I happen to have very high standards for "the pick of the litter."
See I told him it was an amazing story. Too bad the tobacco treatment didn't work for me. Tobacco smoke causes my asthma. I have never heard of asthma starting at several days old but whatever you say elkieboy.
Noooo...I did not buy a new car this year. I did not pay a new car tax. I did not buy a new refrigerator this year. I did not pay a refigerator sales tax.
I did not buy a cigarette this year (or any year.) I did not pay a cigarette tax.
W've been over this before.
Hysteria over tobacco smoke causes your asthma.
I'ts all passed along.
Simple economics, don't you see.
Well, toddly woodly-good-for-you.
I'm so glad you can proudly tower above all us mindless little automatons.
As I said, give me a break.
You're like one of those stupid 9-11 conspiracists trying to argue with me over the melting point of steel, or hologram projections or whatever nonsense they feel they have to come up with to sustain themselves. Like them, you can't see the forest for the trees. For whatever psychological (or who knows, maybe financial) reason, you feel you have to fight every single study, every single educational effort, every single anything that might potentially tie smoking to harm. You can't give up an inch of ground, or else you're done with, through. It's more a mantra to you than anything else. And while you say you believe that smoking is bad for people, nothing else you write indicates you believe that.
Tobacco is numbered amongst the things that made our forebears suprisingly healthy? Please, that's pure idiocy. That level of intelligence isn't even worthy of DU, let alone Free Republic, so I have no idea where to tell you to go. That's just stupid man.
Hit the abuse button at will, but you are a nicotine addicted, addict. Calling you an addict is a statement of fact and not a slur.
"But not from drinking carrot juice" Very easily said.... SoOh? Prove it.
As I said, give me a break.

KHQ--SPOKANE
KENN--FARMINGTON
There's a couple.
Of course. Good point. It's like the gas tax...passed along.
However, I am stil grateful.
Exactly right. Smoking cigarettes helps exercise the lungs, making them stronger and healthier.
How could anyone be against exercise?
What, can't you even give a real response to my original inquiry?
I should know better. Anyone who makes a statement as asinine as the one I originally replied to probably isn't capable of doing so.
Orange juice, carrot juice, tobasco juice, its juice , WHAT EVER
Hmmm...just thought of something. How come the pro-smoking people who post the tax charts don't get this. They always say THEY are the ones paying the taxes!!
If you bought anything this year, you paid a tobacco tax, because at least 25% of the people who produced and delivered whatever you bought paid a tobacco tax.

They also produced and drank booze, and wrangled large four-footed creatures for work and transportation.
Rumor has it, they danced and laughed occasionally also.
