Makes me glad I quit smoking.

I will say this though...if the taxes get too outrageous, to the point where only the very affluent can afford to smoke, then net tax collections on cigs are going to dwindle and the money for the programs those taxes fund will have to come from somewhere else (read: non smokers)

Also, the moral superiority alot of non-smokers display makes me want to fucking puke. Unless you ride a bike or walk to work and have solar panels on the roof of your house, you don't have a right to bitch about air pollution or second hand anything.
When you're willing to pay the same percentage increase in your electricity tax, gasoline tax, and every other thing you use or consume that somehow effects the public health then you can tell the smokers they deserve to pay $50 per carton.
