Are you kidding? Just look at the cashcow ciggarettes are for the anti tobacco crowd! After over 50 years of edjumacating and hammering everyone from kindergartners to seniors that smoking causes cancer they still want more taxpayer and smokers cash to edjumacate and people still get awarded obscene amounts for doing something they freely chose to do and were well aware what the consequences would be.
This is Amerika and the only people expected to pay the consequences for thier actions are Conservatives.
The only difference - and a glaring one - is that smoking has been pretty much condemned by society for what it is, while homosexual behavior, the prime vector for AIDS, is promoted and encouraged.
