Just be glad all the smokers don't quit en masse, or the already overbudgeted US economy would collapse from huge a shortfall in tax dollars.

Hyprocrites one and all: they whine about 2nd hand smoke, but are glad to squeeze the tobacco industry cow for all the milk they can get for their special interest crap.

And the “Tobacco Cash Cow” is being paid 100% by smokers who pay cigarette taxes. Not Big Tobacco and NOT the Government. The smokers who pay taxes are paying for all of this control, restrictions and abuse.

But it’s definitely something we never ask for. Big T sold us out.
