Great tactic, go after them in the pocket book, sick the IRS on them for lobbying.

Exactly! Pretty smart, I say!

Is this the beginning of the backlash against the No Smoking Nazis?

I have been expecting for a long time to see smokers wake up and fight back. The rules, regulations, and laws prohibiting smoking in almost EVERY public place have been creeping up on us for years and almost without even a whimper from the smokers themselves. The unreasonable taxes and penalites for smoking have been passed while the smokers held their tongues. But, when they finally DO wake up and decide to do something about this mess, it is gonna be hell to pay for the nazis who started it in the first place. Just a matter of time, what goes around comes around.

As a former smoker, I've often looked upon the anti-smoking Nazis with amazement. They have no shame or self-control, and are unabashedly self-righteous in their cause. This "No Smoking on Planet Earth" crusade has got to stop.

The risks and costs of smoking are well known. If an informed adult chooses to smoke, so be it.

Marlboro country = the loading dock in the building where I work.

Smoke all you want but don't make me inhale this garbage.

"Adults who choose to smoke have had enough," Silk said.

Let us hope that this group is the first of many. Enough is enough. We've been harassed, penalized, over taxed and forced into being pariahs. Enough is enough. We are shown more hatred and disrespect than most felons.
