Its like government is proud to cost someone their job. cigerrette sales are down 20% in Fl because of $1.00 tax. so who does that hurt the smoker? no cuz it still smokes,

Actually many people actually quit because smoking is too expensive or they cut back a lot. Both of those means those people will have LESS healthcare costs down the road. Of course since it's WE the taxpayer that would eventually pay those healthcare cost of smoking related illnesses I'm for anything that reduces that costs. It pisses me off when the smokers talk about their "rights", but then expect me to pay for their lung cancer treatment or heart bypass or oxygen tank when their "right" causes them health problems. Why shouldn't those smokers pay for their own healthcare costs?
