I don't live in Maine I live in "tobacco friendly" North Carolina but I agree whole heartedly. If tobacco were soooo deadly why isn't it banned? Answer...Tax revenue. The feds banned ephedra last year after 100 people died over 10 years by that standard we would be banning cars too. The hypocrisy is sickening.

By that standard we should be banning water.

It IS sickening.  I am shaking so bad right now I can hardly type.  The hypocrites in Augusta make me want to throw up.

All Partnership for a Tobacco Free Maine scream they want everyone to quit.  If that were so, then how the hell would this state survive without smoker's tax dollars.  I am totally fed up.

Ban the damn stuff and be done with it.  Oh but wait!  The state would surely go down the toilet if that were the case!

StoneCold,

NC is becoming less and less tobacco friendly.
