All of us, smoker and non-smoker alike, of course.

Here in my state, KY, they just passed their own cigarette tax hike.
Head line from my local paper (http://www.somerset-kentucky.com/local/local_story_046013815.html):
“Tax hikes on alcohol, cigarettes have spared education funding cuts — for now”
For now? And they actually expect anyone to believe there will be education cuts?
Smokers can only be bled so much, especially when these smoking bans are being proposed. The tax revenues will eventually begin to fall off, and then what? I think the answer to that is crystal clear: since it is “for the children”, there will be no cuts, and the revenue will be made up by passing taxes on other goods...
