Taking smokers money is not the answer to the problem.

Yes, it is. it will encourage people to quit, which is good for everyone.

No its not. They want and need more money, and they know that smokers aren't going to quit and they know they can count on people like you to think like that. How about they go after caffeine next? How would you like an extra 20 dollar tax on coffee?

“The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.” - President Abraham Lincoln after the National Banking Act of 1863 was passed

Well, who doesn't ? But, the number of smokers is decreasing because, well, only a moron would smoke.

Well, if they really wanted to just raise money, they would do that. Coffee does not kill people, it is not a burden on the health system.

Most smokers smoke because it gives them comfort. You can't just tax something like that out of existence to rape people's wallets. People will always smoke even if there is a strict prohibition on it. Government needs to just fuck off and do what they should be doing.

It raises blood pressure and increases anxiety levels which causes many other health problems. Perhaps if you weren't shovel headed moron you would know that.

This is perhaps true, but not on the same scale as tobacco kills you.

And what is that ? When you get lung cancer, do you expect medical care ? Are you going to pay for it ?

This guy can't hold a job so the only way he stays alive is sucking at Uncle Sugar's tit. A perfect example of poor white trash with the emphasis on the last word.

No. What is disgusting is watching a dog lick up a human's puke. You don't own a dog, do you?

Are you speaking from experience? Tobacco gives the most comfort when your not addicted.
