“Smokers stink.
If you can afford cigarettes, you can afford to pay your own rent. Stop sucking on the taxpayer teat.”
So do people who wear too much perfume or after shave.
The cost of cigarettes is high because the government taxes addicts. If you have to live in government housing should you be told you can’t eat sugar, fat or whatever else they tell you?
Disabled and elderly often have to live in government housing because they are not working and can’t afford anything else and the government took the Social Security money they put away for their whole lives.
Government stinks. Find another scapegoat.
Terrible analogy there.
Sugar and some fats are necessary to a balanced diet. In what way is tobacco a good thing?
Feel free to eat all the sugar and fat in my presence that you want to. I will not be affected or offended. Smoke near me? Yeah, that’s a problem.
Perhaps the elderly smokers in government housing would not be there if they invested thousands of dollars in retirement planning instead of cigarettes. Perhaps they are not working due to their bad health due to their smoking.
