It's all about the money and not about health at all. Good to see these slime balls admit it, however inadvertantly.

The best part:

The measure, which would make selling or using tobacco products except for using it for relgious purposes misdemeanors, failed by an 88-4 vote.

Imagine if all the states were stupid enough to pass a law like this! Remember that religious sacrements are tax free!

What could they do if we all exercised our 1st Amendment rights to freedom of religion? Kill the cash cow.
