I don’t have a dog in that fight. I roll my own...but heard rumors that they want to tax loose tobacco at 25.00 a pound. That will put lots of people out of business...A$$holes....
If I smoke its no ones business but mine...certainly not your business......No true conservative would tell anyone else how to live their lives...strange it sounds like you are for the tax on smokers, just not the spending...why be for a tax that is not spent...fuzzy thinking

Bigtime. Several benefits. It will help mitigate the enormous cost cigarettes have on society. (Negative externalities)AND it will reduce consumption. Econ 101.

The side benefit of gettin' smokers panties in a twist is just a bonus.
