"We all agree to allow the govt' to tax us."
No, by your own statement, you agree to allow the government to tax someone else. Instead of advocating lowering taxes, you advocate shifting the burden from you to another group of persons, then label that capitalism.
Are you willing to carry the same load of taxes as the typical smoker?
Liquor has a high excise tax which I pay. Coke cans have a 'recycle' fee. Are you willing to have a 'recycle' fee for your cigarette butts?
So, I cannot advocate sticking it to smokers as well as getting total reductions ? Both get me lower taxes. I don't see why I have to choose when both can happen at the same time.
