Once they manage to force smokers to quit by way of taxation they'll simply turn their attention to something else.
I hope it's all of the bicycles (the real expensive enthusiast ones). Add to that the cute little tight spandex pants and "Aliens" helmets all of these 'he-men' seem to want to wear when they "commune with nature" (actually, most times in the height of morning or afternoon traffic, it seems).
Well, states can't balance their budgets without smoker's tax dollars. They spew they want smoke free yet they use cigarette taxes to balance their budgets. They talk out of both sides of their filthy mouths.
I think all smokers should start rolling their own. A heck of a lot cheaper and no big taxes. And all the grocery stores and Smoke Shops in town sell bags of tobacco and the filtered tubes and the rolling machines. It sure paid off for me!
