No one is addicting teenagers.

I have four grandkids and none of them smoke. Four kids and only one one smokes. My hubby and I both smoked for years. Hubby died in 2006, not caused by smoking.

I still smoke and so healthy at 79 the Dr.s hate me. You need a attitude adjustment and stop blaming smokers for addicting young people.

Someone is. 90% of all smokers start as teenagers.

Adults don’t smoke. Teenagers smoke and then become adults after it’s way too late to quit.

Smokers will be taxed to the point that most will quit smoking. Tax revenue from that great plan will drop to (near) zero.

And then the feds, greedy for those lost tax dollars, will have to find something else to tax.

Eventually they will choose to tax something that will make Drango's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness prohibitively expensive.
