You know as well as I do that the tax hike is not about getting people to quit. Its about one thing... MONEY

Do you support the "twinkie tax" proposals on fatty food and soda because people are fat? After all, obesity is a bigger health problem in this country than smoking according to former surgeon general Satcher.

I'm glad you brought up the "twinkie tax."

the question of the day at MSNBC is "Are Smokers Being Treated UnFairly?" of course the answer is a resounding no - except for the nanny do-gooders.

The segment they did about an hour ago had a representative of the smokers organization FORCES and one from an anti-smoker group (ANR or ASH, not sure) People like this make me gag.
