The hate will stop once the price of cigarettes stabilizes at a "desirable level." Already the early "scientific studies" are indicating that smoking stops or retards the progress of neurological diseases. The outcome being "cigarettes are desirable if used in moderation." What we are really seeing are the giant property seizures attendant upon a dying Republic. The historical analogy being Sulla and his times. All means of seizing property will increase in frequency and intensity as desperate office holders seek ever increasing amounts of cash with which to purchase followers.
