The idiocy of PA’s policies against smokers is hard to fathom. Try to balance the budget by jacking the tax on smokes, and drive people to find alternate sources. (A basic understanding of Economics would indicate this would happen)

At the same time inundate the population with the truly moronic “Compliance Alliance” campaign. Obviously the campaign is marketed towards teenagers, yet it’s stated purpose is to stop SHOP OWNERS from selling tobacco to teenagers. Seems to me if you wanted to get the attention of SHOP OWNERS you’d have a commercial with some bearded Paki marching in place in front of the Pakistani flag shouting “Allah commands you not to sell smokes to kids!” in Punjabi.

Gotta love that government…

I have to turn the station on the radio every time I hear one of those ads. Not only are they moronic, they get me steamed because whoever wrote them (gotta be a lib) has to think that the listeners are total morons.
