I hate cigarettes personally, I smoke cigars and a pipe. I don't know why anyone would smoke cigarettes, however that being said, more people die from alcohol related deaths in this country than smoking deaths. More children are harmed by dogs than what are harmed by smoking. More children die in pools than die from smoke. My mother smoked in an enclosed house 24-7, and I have no lung problems, chronic diseases, etc. <BR/>What the government doesn't realize, in its lust for more cash, is that if smoking disappears, if cigarettes are gone tomorrow, they will lose untold millions of dollars which fund their children's health programs. Yet they want to apply more "sin" taxes. Let them tax abortion to the point where it is unfeasible to get one. Then we'll be getting somewhere.Athanasiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857043218277004727noreply@blogger.com
