"This Amendment is good fiscal policy and good for public health," said Gary J. Streit, a member of the ACS CAN Board of Directors. "Raising the federal tobacco tax will generate ample new revenue for public health, including cancer research and prevention with enough left over for deficit reduction. On top of that, higher cigarette taxes are proven to reduce smoking, especially among youth. We call that a win-win, win-win."

Barbra Steisand..............if they didn't waste so dadgum much money on efforts to denomize and denormalize smoers there would be more than enough money for cancer research and deficit reduction..........

As far as I know, only one cancer is related to smoking, what are we going to do about the other 95%.
