Why can't smokers form a Tobacco Union, Don't their votes count or is it smokers can't vote? I'm sure if they united with lets say 15% or 20% of the vote they would no longer be pushed around. Then and only then would the politicos listen to them...

The type of response I have been waiting for.

There are some key elements which make this very interesting. First, the majority of smokers are liberals. Second, (as mentioned previously to some extent) corporate sales have been damaged as a result of government's intervention on their rights. Third, investor losses have been the consequence.

My point is that there could be a much larger segment than simply smokers, how many investors are non-smokers? And how many of the investors won't be conservatives? Interesting?
