Personally, I quit after smoking for over 30 years.
Stupid habit, damn near impossible to throw off (it has been described as more addicting that Heroin).
But legal.
The funny part is all that wonderful Big Tobacco revenue stream from the bogus lawsuits will dry up.
Much of that revenue stream is to support Health Services.
Some dang good irony there...
I’m a smoker too who is slowly quitting after about 18 years. Smoking less and less each year since I seem to be getting, of all things, tired of cigarettes. I’ve found some substitutes that I like pretty well. It is bad for you, no doubt about it.
I think we all knew the problem 20 years ago when all of these taxes were placed on tobacco. The inevitable question being “What happens when cigs aren’t sold like they are today?” We’ll all pay more taxes “for the children.” Don’t you love it.
