But, I suppose that pot heads, alcoholics, fudgies, scrip abusers, addicts etc., will get a break because of the "disease" they are dealing with. Right? If it's a legal product then why the discrimination? If they're serious, ban tobacco products. Oops! Too much money involved? Yup. Leave my smokes alone. Per a current C&W song, "Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit!"

who wrote this P.O.S.?

It’s Obvious Obama is too stupid to have written it himself

It just magically appeared- all 2000+ pages of it and no one even asked that question.

Will the male homos, with the shortest and most expensive lifespan of all groups be given a pass? Of course, proglodyte politicians pander to the perverts. It is called the PPPP alliance.

Computer Glitch: at best a case for insufficient testing.

I’ve implemented many enterprise scale systems. A smoking premium levy has been a known requirement. Adding it is a minor effort.

More likely: the politically connected decided to intervene.

Perhaps for good reason. As it is smokers pay a disproportionate share of taxes. They shorten their lives by 10 years. Why hammer them here as well?

This is real simple to avoid if you are a smoker:

1. Lie and say you are NOT a smoker.

2. Don’t buy insurance until you get sick.

BTW, how long will it be before there’s a penalty for eating bacon? And more significantly, is there a blood test for bacon-eating?
