"We need your money to balance the budget, BUT, you can't smoke here and you can't smoke there! We want a SMOKE FREE STATE, but GIVE US YOUR MONEY!"

Sound familiar?

They're pariahs in restaurants, outcasts in offices, and taxed to the max on their cigarette habit, but smokers are coming to the rescue of state budgets.

Who're the fools in that picture?

Seems to me the states are beginning the whining process of, where are we going to get money if smokers quit........ what to do, what to do. I wish they would ban the darn things, then I could pick up a new hobby...... watching the governments squirm as they raised all other taxes by 25-50%.
