If memory serves, our government take in more money from evil tabacco then any company.

The company makes 27 cents per pack in profit and the government on average makes $2.50. It is evil government not evil tabacco that is making all the money.

I've been saying this over and over:  let the states ban tobacco products.  Pull them off the shelves! 

Since most states can't balance their budgets without the tax dollars collected from smokers, the states would go into a tail spin.  Yet, the lawmakers continue sticking it to us, "for our own good."

If smokers could find an alternative way to buy cigarettes elsewhere and stop the glutton taxes from going into the state budgets, maybe then and only then would the states wake up.

I wish all smokers could just stop buying cigarettes for 6 months and then lets see just how much the states need us.

Read how much smokers are contributing to their state economy.  And some have the nerve to say smokers are the reason for higher health costs.  Read this and know the truth.
