When will smokers realize that they can have influence by banding together in a voting block?

I think we got, at least, a start on that in Missouri this election season.
A tobacco tax was voted down.
The group going for the tax tried to pull an end around and there were a lot of people that didn't even know the initiative was still going to be voted on until about a month beforehand.
Myself and a couple of others put out newsletters and flyers, especially in the smoke shops.
I think we made a difference.

Not only do you have the support of smokers, you have the support of freedom loving people who don't happen to be smokers.
