Go for it, TJ.
I'm in the middle of a tobacco tax battle and I need all the logical thinking I can gather.
Post #58 (and a few others) have done a yeoman's job of dissecting it. If you have a specific point you want discussed which wasn't covered there, I'll spend some time on it.
All of this stuff has been covered ad-nausem in the past with no effect on the poster.
The issue isn't about smoking in any case, it is about property rights, and rights in general. The proper role of government in a free society is to defend the rights of it's citizens, not abet those who would violate them.
