Well, Bob, if smoking is so bad, why isn't it outlawed?...Hint: tax revenue.
First they raised the price so high you couldn’t afford to buy them at the corner store anymore, so I started getting my cigarettes online and having them delivered by mail right to my door.
Then they decided to ban the sale of cigarettes online but NOT little cigars. So I switched to little cigars...which are actually less expensive.
THEN, in a move I am sure was designed to help the US Postal Service, they banned ALL tobacco products from being sent through the mail.
Fedex is much faster anyway.
