I wonder what they'd do if we all quit smoking? Who would they target next?
I live in Californistan, so thank you for the heads up. The "it's for the children" is a flat out lie. So is telling people that it will go for healthcare. I have no health care, and can't even afford my medication. So where is the money really going??? Nancy Pelosi's plastic surgeon, that's where!
I'm glad someone from California responded. Print out the information I gave you up above and start asking serious questions about where all those cigarette tax dollars have been GOING over the years! They have plenty enough. But of course, we know that money is going to pay for the exact same health groups that are banning and controlling smokers.
But print the information out so you can show anyone and ask hard questions. This is way over the top!
