She was expousing how fantastic indiana's tobacco campaign has been and how her work within the state legislator had helped lead to these "improvements'. When I asked her who's taxes she was going to raise after she had eliminated smokers who now pay these taxes for the children.........she was at a loss, never had thought past that. In fact she said well there are other sin taxes we can use, there are alot of health issues we can use to reclaim that money and "of course make everyone healthier".

See? The Tobacco Settlement created monsters within each state and the coalitions for a tobacco free everything are being paid their salary's by smokers tax dollars. Should everyone quit smoking, these idiots would be out of a job.

And so many people still do not realize that smokers who pay taxes on cigarettes are flipping the bill for everything. Not the government and NOT Big Tobacco. But the smokers!

I asked what she meant i.e. alcohol or fast food or what? With a smile she said that I would be amazed at how the indiana legislator was going to RESTRUCTURE our lives in the next 2-3 years. She was absolutely beaming

Wonder what the heck she meant by that?!

All I could think was thank god I'm moving to Texas.

Texas is a good state. You should be happy there. Except for this illegal alien business. Always something, I guess.

" Wonder what the heck she meant by that?! "

I took it to mean that anything "fun" was on the table for restriction LOL

Seriously, this is a well educated genuinely nice woman, who happens to think she can legislate health. She also seems to be a bit smitten with the power of it all too, and shes not even elected just acting as a volunteer aid.
