Not to sound like a jerk or anything, but it's the same kind of people that tell other parents how to raise their kinds or insert themselves it situations that aren't really necessary, I feel that it gets more and more ridiculous. Obama smoked/s and he was berated for it and it was all other the news and newspaper, couldn't they spend their time with stuff thats more important? I just feel that the government is going about this the right way for the people, they are just, in the end, making themselves money but over time losing money as they close down more factories in the us and abroad. if they wanted to help whats important, the people, they would put more effort into cracking down on other tobacco products: snus, chew, cigarettes, etc. With these taxes all they are doing is killing the little guys and the big cigarette companies take a small hit on their bottom line.
What it comes down to is that Senators have interest in making money, and less to do with the people unless they are pressured.
My two cents
