Wow and the debate goes on.I just want to add my 2 cents.For all you morons that have never smoked you have no Idea of what your talking about.I have been smoking for more years then I can remember.I have tried everything availble to try and stop.Tried the patch ..didn’t work Tried Wellbutrin..didn’t work.If you think it’s that easy why don’t you try heroin the addiction is considered easyer to quit then nicotine.That being said this issue is more about a runaway socialist government than wether or not I offend you tree hugging morons with my unstopable habit.Just wait till they find something you have no control over to tax the crap out of you with.

Read carefully folks. The tobacco seller is required to be a snitch. SO, put down a FAKE name and send them somewhere harder to track like a PO box, a commercial mail receiving agency (The UPS store), etc. DONT HAVE IT GO TO YOUR HOUSE WITH YOUR REAL NAME. Pay with a money order, prepaid credit card (yes, they have those and your name isnt on it) or similar anonymous payment. Or mail cash, I do it all the time.

It is a top time to start growing your own tobacco. It is simple and requires nearly no land. Let them run out of money.

Jerko, save me the small talk from your even smaller nameless pinko mind. In the end, any way you want it or no, there really is no option. You can put that in your 30 years. Don’t worry somebody will cart it off and bury it after all is said and done anyhow.

Huff or puff was not the key issue, now was it? Or did you miss that part deliberately?

Protecting governments money making racketeering to cover government’s operating costs is all that matters, especially among the slimy socialist Democrats on a bent to create and fund more and more welfare nanny state entitlements at someone else’s expense, even if that means knowingly with forethought and malice assisting them to an early grave.

And to think Kevorkian gets convicted for murder…

Well Michael, Like the great Sam Cook said, Puff, Puff Puff. One less GOPer around. And I have worked in health care for 30 years. Don’t begin to lecture me on the effects of smoking. By the way do you prefer to be a “Pink Puffer” or a “Blue Blower”? Either way, RED is not an option

The Federal Government makes approximately 2.5 times more profit per pack of cigarettes than do the tobacco companies.

Next, the chorus to raise taxes on tobacco has a very unhealthy side affect. Tobacco is legal. If it is so unhealthy then ban it and make it illegal. Otherwise, there are serious side affects from deciding to highly tax a legal product. Did you realize that state government makes more money per pack of cigarettes than the tobacco companies? Did you realize that the federal government also makes more money per pack than the tobacco companies.

While serving in the state legislature I actually witnessed legislative debates and legislation where government officials wanted to protect and give special preference to the tobacco companies that entered the global lawsuit settlement. The legislators wanted to lean on and punish the other tobacco companies that didn’t pay money to the states under the settlement. I have seen the financial planners of the state take into account and depend upon the taxes coming from tobacco.

Philip Morris says the government already receives $6 billion a year in tobacco tax revenue and makes more money per pack from cigarettes than the industry does. In addition, it says, the government provided free cigarettes to servicemen until 1974 and continues to subsidize tobacco farmers.
