I asked a nanny stater about that one. I told him, so you'll pay $6.00 for a gallon of gas so I don't smoke or drink anymore. Damn nice of you. He didn't even consider that gas taxes were the most likely place the states and federal governments would try and make up the tax shortfall after he got his wish.

I guess they presume that the government will just do without those tax revenues when everyone quits smoking.
Yeah, right.
