thanks APH...good point
people need to be responsible for their actions....if i choose to smoke, then i also choose the consequences....the squeaky wheels in this equation are the nonsmokers believing that its their right to dictate what ppl can do....."i dont like smokers so you have to pay the consequences for me not liking you"...and then they bitch and moan to get what they wanted, then its not good enough.....higher cig tax was their idea to FORCE ppl to stop smoking...guess what..smokers continued to buy & smoke...so they go back again and say "oh, you better watch out, we're going to raise it again"...and you know what smokers will do....pay the higher price...
lets tax the shit out of religion....i hate all organized religions, so i want a $15 tax on every empty headed religious nut...maybe that will stop ppl from believing in such foolishness...
Smokers Unite!!!
