Dear Madame,
I have never in my life espoused the implementation on a new tax on any person for any reason whatsoever.
That was especially the case some years back when in this State my neighbors actually voted to increase taxes on the purchase of cigarettes.
I was horrified at the notion, and I spoke out on it at my work, and among friends and family.
It is true that I have never smoked, but it is also true that I have never indulged in Nazi type intolerance concerning the ridiculous habit. I believe that if people want to smoke in restaurants then they should be able to. The "Free Market" will sort that sort of thing out without Government interventions.
It is so that I do tend toward sarcasm. Certainly that is evident out here, but it is my expressed (and once again reiterated) opinion that if people want to light a fire to some leaves and then inhale the concentrated noxious and toxic fumes well then that should not be a crime. It is also my opinion that I should be able to make a decent living helping to make well those stupid enough to indulge in such self destructive behavior.
