I smile every time the tax rates on tobacco go up. Those increases are passed by conservatives (and liberals) marching into voting booths and freely voting to tax your filthy habit.

The plus side is that increases in taxes results in a decrease in demand. Econ 101. It’s a win.

The smoking wars are over. Deal with it.

They’re hopeless in understanding what Freedom is...

...their definition is.. we’re free UNLESS it disturbes they’re idea of a perfect society and behavior. They’ll be the same ones who will eventually gravitate to a socialist society...willingly.

Feds Spend $402,721 on:

“Underwear That Senses Cigarette Smoke”

May 7, 2013
By Elizabeth Harrington

(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded more than $400,000 to a research project involving underwear that can detect when a person smokes cigarettes.

The University of Alabama has received two grants totaling $402,721 for the project, which so far has produced a “very early prototype” of the monitoring system, which — in its current state — fits like a vest.

The goal of the three-year study is to “develop a wearable sensor system comprised of a breathing sensor integrated into conventional underwear.”

The Personal Automatic Cigarette Tracker (PACT for short) is intended to accurately measure when and how often people smoke as well as how deeply they inhale
