As a three pack a day smoker for 30 years, I have been forced to pay the Government thousands of dollars. The Government has used the excuse of health care to forced me to pay a huge amount of money over the years.

Some day soon, I will need that medical care. If the tax money that I have invested (as a smoker) is not used for my own personal health care, then there will be a retribution.

Today, politicians think that a tobacco tax is free money, that they can spend in any way that they wish. Once they are no longer serving in an elected position, they falsely consider themselves as free and clear.

Some of us make a point of remembering the elected individuals responsible, and even 20 years later, these people can be tracked down.

While someone is serving in an elected position, that office will be respected. Once these people return to civilian life, they will be held accountable for their actions.

Sorry, "Sin taxes" don't count!

Despite all the taxes I've paid on beer, I still can't expect the government to pay my gym fees to rid me of my beer belly!
