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.

Actually, there is much evidence that it DOES. Your statement is false.

NO THERE IS NOT. Some goober website maybe. I have watched the areas of smoking shrink and shrink and shrink and I haven't seen or read about one person quiting because of a ban. Sounds like you've seen some propergander.

Where's the evidence?
If you're going to cite it you should be willing to produce it.

Actually, young lady, the government banned smoking marijuana in 1937 and more people today smoke than when they banned it.

Therefore, from the available evidence, your statement is false.

You are right, of course. Tobacco tax is a federal and state line item revenue account which they can balance by increasing taxes as consumption falls. The government gets to have its cake and eat it too.

Then show us this evidence. Did outlawing pot stop pot smoking? not from what I've seen.

Actually your own statement is completely bullshit as evidenced by the dismal failure in the drug war against illegal substances such as cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamines, heroin etal.....

Oh, and have you also forgotten how OVERWHELMINGLY SUCCESSFULL the prohibition era was in controlling the evil alcohol peddlers?

Care to try to substantiate your ignorant statement?
