I’m chatting with about five women on a dating site.

Good luck with the chicks...

Please tell us all how you can find such joy from increases in taxes.

Econ 101...If you raise the price of a pack by 10%, you will see a decline in the demand of 3% to 4%. More for youth.

So why do you find such joy in kids under 18 starting to smoke?

Does that also account for people over eighteen illegally purchasing for minors? The black market? Theft?
Does the fact that this increase results in the murders of innocent convenience store workers because those cases of cigarettes are worth their weight in gold on the streets bother you?

Please copy/paste the posting where I said those words.
