In Washington State. 2.5 Billion dollars a year are now spent for direct medical aid for people who have become wards of the state after they could not pay for the long term medical care from smoking tobacco. 12% of people in Washington smoke Tobacco regularly. 20% of the people living in Tacoma and Seattle are now regular Pot Smokers. In the end it is likely that smoking pot long term causes more damage than smoking tobacco. There will never be a fraction of the money collected in taxes from pot smokers to even out the future expense of taking care of them after they have ruined their minds and bodies and become wards of the state.
Do you support banning tobacco? (I don't.) If not, why not?
