You can expect to get yellow teeth and fingers, and to walk around smelling like an old ashtray. At best..I don’t get it, anyway. The government spends millions to discourage cigarette smoking…and spends millions to subsidize tobacco growers. WTF?
SCATTY: Those with the money bribe the lawmakers. Don’t take the bribe, don’t get elected. Worse, oppose the bribe and the corporate media will deny you are even a candidate.
The government makes a ton of money from tobacco taxes, but demands “warning labels” on the product. It can’t be a very lethal product if it takes 40 years to kill you. If you breathe car exhaust, it will kill you in minutes (but no warning label about carbon monoxide).

Secondhand smoke may cause birth defects, too.

I stopped smoking when it got too expensive. Paying $75 for $20 of cigerettes was getting a little much. Some taxes are insane.
