Major tax increase in Washington state goes into effect today. So I’ve been stocking up this last week.
I tried to start a thread about it, but I will ask the question here:
If government gets to the point where they are making 4-5-6-7 dollars a pack, and they KNOW AND ADMIT that smokers/tobacco users are a somewhat addicted lot, then WHAT DIFFERENTIATES GOVERNMENT FROM SOME SHADY GUY WHO STANDS ON THE CORNER SELLING NICKLE BAGS OF WHITE POWDER?
Nuthin. They have no legal or ethical or moral foundation.
I’m not unsympathetic. But you could try and quit. My dad managed to quit after smoking at least a pack-a-day for 40 years. Now he just wishes he could get all that money back.
