"...this fellow wants to ban smoking period."

No he doesn't. Yes, he's a smoking Nazi, but he's also a money grubbing political hack who is more addicted to tobacco taxes than a 3-pack a day smoker is to nicotine.

Those taxes are the reason I quit smoking. When I started smoking I was paying about 35 cents a pack. Today they are over 3 bucks a pack, most of the increase due to taxes, and I'm just not going to pay it. I still enjoy the occasional cigar though.
