As I sit here at age 50 waiting for 80mg of Vicodin to get to the pain from MIDCAB open-heart surgery performed last week, (this after 6 heart caths in 2 years to keep an artery open), I know without a doubt that smoking is killing me a little at a time. The hold it has on me is unlike any other.
If the government truly had smoker's welfare in their minds, they'd be funding a silver bullet project akin to the moon shot to stop the addiction once and for all for those that want to quit but lack whatever it takes to do so. That's where the tobacco settlement money should have gone.
Instead, it, the government, is completely ignorant of what an addiction this is for some people. They think outlawing smoking will stop smoking and there is nothing anywhere to support that.
Screw them all.
Makes YOU MAD? It is tearing my gut out. They anti everything is just using tobacco to control the 2/3rds of the people who smoke in each state. They succeed with this, then they will go on to another group of people to control!
Like SUV's.............Obesity.............the list goes on and on. There is always one group of people who want to control another group of people and form the world in the way THEY want to. I am pretty sure a Civil War in America is not to far away at this point.
Americans are waking up. American's are now seeing that this smoking control and tobacco control is one way of brow beating a group of people who choose to smoke a legal commodity. If tobacco is so deadly, WHY didn't they ban it years ago.
This is all bull chit!
