So, why don't they just outlaw tobacco outright, altogether and screw the tax revenues, screw the smokers - just screw everybody. At least that would be up front and honest instead of all this totalitarian incremental B(arbra) S(triesand). It's going to be the ultimate outcome anyhow.

But noooooooo. Legislators are SO clever. They don't want to take the heat and obviously NOBODY WILL NOTICE if they do it bit by bit. How insulting.

There. I've been wanting to say that for AGES. (Thank you for your patience.)

#9...... It isn't that they don't have the guts to ban tobacco completely, it is that they are more addicted to the taxes, than the smokers are to smoking.
