Smokers are all pariahs; a blight on society...
Somehow smoking in the US has turned into a moral issue. If you smoke, then you must be a bad person...

those Japanese tourists who visit Hawaii, they demand their smoking privileges, too. So see, it's not all banned. For victory & freedom!!! Not so fast there; don't get your hopes up. The city council in Honolulu (Now that Japanese visitor traffic is down nearly 50%) Is considering driving a stake through the heart of the states only real industry, tourism, by instituting a smoking ban like the one in force in California. The sponsoring councilman, strangely enough Duke Bainum from Waikiki, is running for mayor too.

Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't go to the reservation for tax free cigarettes, to save money.
I spend money on smokes there, out of a sense of obligation, to make reparations for the atrocities commited against Native Americans by our forebears.
Just like X-42 said.
See, I've learned to turn the stupidity of "enlightend liberal" thinking to serve my own purposes.
(I also convinced my girlfriend that it is inhumane to kill poor defenseless animals, just to make a fur coat for her to wear. Now I need one to cover gemstones. Maybe something about the poor, exploited, third-world, diamond mine workers. Too bad that South African boycott ended. )

Did you know that until just a few years ago, most firefighters were active smokers?
So were miners; odd, isn't it?

Stupidity kills more people than all the tobacco in the world could do.
It's too crowded around here, anyway.

How quickly we forget that liver disease/cirrhosis is one of the top ten leading causes of death in this country, and that alcohol is listed as a leading cause in accidental deaths.
People who eat meat are at least 30 percent more likely to die of a heart attack, 40 percent more likely to get cancer, and are at risk for many other diseases and illnesses, including stroke, obesity, appendicitis, osteoporosis, arthritis, and diabetes.
Where do we draw the line? Anyway, the main point is that the government doesn't want smokers to stop smoking. That's just a smokescreen. And the tax revenues aren't going toward health costs anyway.
States are frittering away the money they extorted from the tobacco firms
