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

Probably the only reason we are still permitted to smoke in the "designated areas".

Fat and sugar taxes.

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!
