"I am for "liberty." Freedom without responsibility is not "liberty"... it is "license" according to the founding fathers. The will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives is within the bounds of "liberty" as long as there is no infringement upon the constitutions of either the individual state or the US."

So you would be all for the removal of tha additional taxes on tobacco and the rescinding of the MSA? Both of which support many things beyond the "costs" a smoker may impose on society. If the prices of tobacco were reflected accordingly, every smoker could afford his/her own health care and there would be no need for you to be affected.

How about it? Remove all the government inflation on tobacco, would you be for that liberty?

Yes, if the legislatures of the various states involved and the US Congress passes laws removing such taxes.
