Here's the one that gets me, Joe:

Smoking is responsible for 10 percent of health care spending in Massachusetts.

Let's say 30% of health care money in Massachusetts goes for kids under 18. That leaves 70% of the health care pie for the adults.

Those supposedly healthy non-smokers are eating up 60% of the dough.

THEY ARE THE ONES BEING CARRIED BY THE SMOKERS!

Talk about unfair.
