[Tacis]

We can raise the price of cigarettes and the taxes on them as high as we want. THERE IS NO LIMIT!!

Smokers are such slaves to their terrible, deadly addiction that they are powerless to abandon it. When they are so enslaved, there is no price too high for their drug delivery system of choice.

The drug not only enslaves, it also destroys ALL rational thoughts processes. Thus, we see blind rejection of any study suggesting that secondary smoke is bad, hallucinations about equating smoking with freedom, and ad hominem attacks of those trying to help.

Those who question the wisdom of politicians placing so much reliance on the future income stream from oppressing a decreasing number of smokers (they die off at a much quicker rate), need not worry, the money will be there. They are too stupid and addicted to stop. And, it is part of the job of non-smokers who don't want higher taxes, either, to keep them adgitated and, therefore, smoking.

In fact, we can pay for the extra police we need to keep bars smoke free by raising the cigarette tax. Smoking in back, by the dumpsters will still be OK, at least for a while.

So! What's YOUR "addiction" of choice? Booze or prescription drugs!

From the KING of "ad hominem attacks."

F.O., tacis.
