That's the million dollar question. The consumers are eating the entire tobacco settlement -- not the tobacco companies.

The Fat Tax, of course.
Until smoking is eliminated, no fat person who ever so much as smelled a cigarette will have died of fat, only smoke.
Once tobacco is gone, they can pull out the stops and tax the beejeebers out of anyone who gained a little weight when they quit...Not to mention everyone else out there who isn't 'heroin chic'.
Need more revenue? Rework the BMI numbers...piece of cake!
