I must say...since I don't believe the other "statistics" I find it hard to believe this one. By pure observation alone I would say it is also bogus! Few will admit to smoking these days due to the demonization of the act. Meanwhile, you can smoke crack on most street corners or subway bathrooms, but that's ok, they need help.

Oh yes!  Get this:  Maine has opened THREE METH clinics!  I couldn't believe it.  Our tax dollars going into clinics for the druggies.

"Maine has opened THREE METH clinics! I couldn't believe it. Our tax dollars going into clinics for the druggies."

I KNOW!! It is a case of INSANITY GONE MAD! Is that statement redundant? ;^)

I for one am tired of hearing how as a smoker I AM COSTING the taxpayers a fortune. (I cost them NOTHING as I stated earlier in this thread) It is the drug addicts & alcholics that are putting the strain on the system...hello, hello, ???
