Why not just round up ALL the smokers???

Shhhh...that's where they're going, they're just taking some time to get there. Read up on how to boil a frog to understand the methodology being employed here...

Say, did you know you can still smoke in the casinos in Reno? I was surprised. There they were puffing away, gambling away, right there in the Cal Neva. Also, those Japanese tourists who visit Hawaii, they demand their smoking privileges, too. So see, it's not all banned. For victory & freedom!!!

"Why not just..."

Because then all of our bowling alleys would be ghost-towns!

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...

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?

" They can order tax-free cigarettes over the Internet. Of course, it's illegal to do that. "

Why is that? Are cigarettes singled out from the "No tax on internet" bill that was just extended for two years?

A scary thought, but it will never happen.
