Just step one, they will get around to everything else in due time.
I agree. Right before the next civil war, or right before the productive people just quit working / investing.

It's the government trying to protect us from ourselves. If they punish smokers hard enough, they'll quit smoking. Well.....that's happening in big time numbers. They just raised the tax another 60 cents a pack. They have to, because there are fewer smokers now to pay the tax. When there are no more smokers, golly gee Wally, where will the government get the money? You don't suppose they'll start putting extra taxes on other stuff, do you? Like cheeseburgers and soda pop? Those are supposed to be bad for you, too. How about skateboards and roller blades? People get hurt on those things, y'know. Gosh, it sure is swell that the government wants to take such good care of us!
