Can anyone tell me why the liberals are so pressed to ban smoking? What benefit does this do to their agenda?

Good question. Smokers have become the only group it's okay to discriminate against. Where are the libs on the fact that the NYC 1.50 tax is regressive, and disproportionately affects the poor?

I'm no attorney, but the fact that these taxes are aimed at one particular group of people and are, in reality, punitive, seems to me they are a bill of attainder and thus unconstitutional.
