Why are they doing this to people who choose to smoke? I know the people who are rich and well known have no problems smoking where ever and when ever they want. But the rest of us are left out here flapping in the wind. They are treating us like the lowest form of life.
If smoking and second hand smoke is so bad, they should have just pulled cigarettes off of the shelves. But the states are craving the cigarette tax money so they won't do that.
And what with big coalitions out there like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation handing out big money to every state that makes life miserable for smokers, the more money the state will receive from said group.
Excellent point. I called my alderman(Chicago) and asked the exact same thing. The response was that they didn't want to ban the sale of cigarettes because it is a legal product. What a joke. It's legal to own the product but not to use it.
