Now that many are quitting smoking and the tabacco taxes are drying up I guess the State needs to get funds somewhere.

States acted like children in a candy store with unlimited funds. Always spending more than they have. Each party trying to impress the voters to vote for them. None of them ever think beyond the moment of when the bottomless pool of the American taxpayer pocket developes a hole and dries up.

The utter"Hypocrisy"is DAZZLING!On the one hand,they have outlawed smoking practically everywhere(including PRIVATE PROPERTY....restaurants,bars,etc.etc.) because it's so injurious to our health.On the other hand,they are crying bloody murder because of their lost revenues!!Pardon me while I visit the toilet!!!
