Cigarette taxes aren't (or shouldn't be) lost revenue since it is actually taxation without representation to start with. They put a surcharge on tobacco one week and in THE SAME WEEK COMPLAIN ABOUT LOST REVENUE. You can't lose something you never had!!!! Maybe they ought to look to other sources like taxing people who harass smokers. There's more money to be found there. Isn't the purpose to get money from the easiest sources?

Stick around. It gets worse. I started a list awhile back about the anti-smokers in here. I am up to 35. Pity.
