I've never been a one issue person but the cigarette taxes are turning me into a person who will NOT vote for anyone who has a hand in the increases.
The thing of it is: they boldface lie to your face, then when we vote them in, they become a turncoat and become easily swayed. I’m not sure what the answer is on this one. We trust them, vote them in then they stick it to us.
The government will make criminals out of everyone sooner or later.
They already made criminals out of anyone who buys cigarettes off the net.
These pious no-do-gooders want a perfect world, or rather, what they consider perfect.
The world is only perfect if it is according to them. It takes many people to make up American’s. Everyone in their own way is different. These “do-gooders” are trying to take that out of us, and turn us into puppets.
They want us to change our personal space so they can butt it.
These Anti-Smokers are the WORST WE HAVE IN THE U.S. You think we should worry about the TERRORIST? No way! It’s the anti-smokers and what they are doing to America. I highly resent their going into private businesses and telling them how they have to RUN it. Once they succeed, the business owner never sees them again, nor does he see his customers that used to come in and smoke.
There is room for all of us in America. But the anti’s do not WANT all of us!
The Tobacco Settlement money (which is paid 100% by smokers who pay cigarette taxes): when this money started coming into the states, the Board of Health received much of the money, and up popped the States for a Tobacco Free Everything. With Anti's running it. As long as they receive their funding, the more destruction they will leave in their paths.
If the states will just pull their funding and put the money into health care for people on welfare who are uninsured, and maybe set up a hotline for people who WANT to quit, that would be acceptable. But the way the health anti's are spending this money is totally unacceptable. It's time to skim their fat!
