I love how it says "Robs the city of tens of millions of dollars of revenue each year!"

Uh, first of all, not paying a tax is not "Robbing." Especially when the tax in discussion is onerous and out of proportion with any sense of fairness or even rationality. Second of all, why do we want to give MORE money to governments--they surely waste a quarter of what they extort, at minimum.

I agree with you.

One can not be robbed of something they neither had or belonged to them to begin with.

When your too spineless to cut spending,stick it to the smokers and claim it's for their own good.

Yea, right!

Hey, simply translate the line from Newspeak into American:

"Prevents the city from robbing smokers of tens of millions of their hard-earned dollars each year."
