Maybe if they worked a little harder, they'd make a profit.

Oh believe me! They ARE making a profit! They are using the Tobacco Settlement money to which the smokers who pay taxes on cigarettes are paying 100%. NOT the government and NOT Big Tobacco. But the SMOKERS!

The anti's are using the smokers tax money to ban, control and restrict us. The Tobacco Settlement money was supposed to be used for education and health care for sick smokers on welfare IF there was any. But the lawmakers formed coalitions that are feeding at the trough of the tobacco money. And who suffers? The smokers! That's why they won't ban tobacco..........they want to continue to suck the money out of us!

Good comment, great cartoon! (My post was just a line I like about "non-profits").

Yeah, I stopped buying from the tobacco manufacturers participating in the "Settlement", since their prices went sky-high to fund it. Now what taxes I do pay don't contribute towards it, yuk-yuk, and the price of a carton is about 50% of what Camels now cost.
