Truly good news! Many of us worry about collecting and using the taxes on a product that causes death. These studies help remove that concern. Good, solid science is always welcome. Let us, therefore, double the taxes on tobacco products. The smokers are too addicted to do anything about it and will pay. The extra revenue will allow for more of those "No Smoking In Here!!" signs.

One day down the road, you may find yourself in a foxhole defending your nation from a foreign enemy.

The guy next to you in that foxhole may be a smoker.

You will spout off some anti-smoking garbage to him, and he just may continue his fighting by himself.

You'll be gone.
