This highly pisses me off - again. Not one penny of tobacco taxes goes toward smokers' healthcare - so why in the hell should smokers (tobacco users) be taxed to pay for children's healthcare and schooling?
On this - I say fuck you, Obama!
I'm 65 years old; at age 50 many friends and acquaintances began to drop dead from smoking, or being overweight. I support taxing tobacco until the last tobacco farm has been reduced to producing organic vegetables.
Spoken like a true wanna be dictator.
Nah, at one time I managed over three hundred staff. My style was never to ask anyone to do anything I wouldn't do (and had done) and to communicate not only what I needed done but why. As usual you have no clue.
Smoking kills - some drop dead, some suffer from cancer and all die before their time. The cost associated with tobacco use is enormous in terms of health care and lost productivity. The taxes raised won't ever cover the cost so even if you don't smoke you pay for the rights of others to kill themselves.
