Which means somebody's gonna have to fill the tax-hole (loss of government income) it creates...
Are you kidding? The government will dig themselves deeper into debt with or without it. Regardless, "I can't stop giving people cancer because otherwise it would cut into my profits" is a uniquely shitty thing to say.
Assuming that I go out and smoke among other people, which I don't. My pack is always safe at home when I'm out, only time I'd take it was when going out to parties (which I haven't done in many years) and even then I'd go stand separate to smoke.
Not everybody of a big group of people that have a similar action are therefor the same. Never good to generalize and treat people differently for 1 thing either...
It seems to me y'all have problems with people of a bad attitude. It's not so much that they smoke, but that they do it without respect... Doesn't every smoker doesn't have respect...
