Huh? What hate? I said that smokers are becoming fewer and fewer, and eventually won't constitute numbers worthwhile to cigarette manufacturers, and you pluck hate from that? Where is the hate?
Secondly, being a Republican means I have to like tobacco? Point this little gem in the platform out to me. Good luck in your search.
I submit that one of the major reasons for the reason smoking is declining is NOT the outrage of the populace of whining anti-smoking Nazi's, but rather the "tax the crap out of 'em" mentality that has priced the product beyond the means of many smokers.
The Black Market and Internet sales of cigarettes is thriving due to the taxes, and when the anit-smoking Nazi's see the taxes THEY will be paying after the Class Action wealth-redistribution on Alchohol and Fast Foods hits THEM, they will wonder what happened, too......
