I've never smoked before and I loathe it; however, I feel that taxation without representation is tyranny, if you tax cigarettes then they should be able to smoke where ever they want. If they want to control cigarette smoking then they should NOT TAX it. Tobacco made America the great nation it is today.

Could I then presume from your above position that pornography should be unregulated?
If you're a libertarian, your answer is probably yes. If you are a parent, your answer is probably no.
