Get ready for $11 a pack cigarettes

[SomeYoungGuy]

Quote from bearice:

Cigarettes should cost $100,000 a pack. It is useless product.

The same can be said for any product that is not housing or food or medical care.

I smoke. I enjoy it. Who exactly are you to tell me how I can enjoy my free time?

Quote from Ivanovich:

I agree, tax the shit out of it. And before any of you folks start pointing out how I'm normally against raising taxes, zip it. We're talking about something that not only can kill the person using it, but others who want nothing to do with it but just happen to be in the vicinity.

Automobiles.

Tax the shit out of them. After all we are talking about something that cannot not only kill the person using it recklessly, it has been quite common for autos to kill innocent bystanders when a driver either loses control or drives drunk, people who want nothing to do with it but just happen to be in the vicinity.

Because the guy who decides to screw his own health is also screwing other people's health as well.

Quote from dhpar:

why should a guy who decides to screw his own health pay more taxes than the one who does not? especially when he needs to pay the treatment from his own pocket?

this whole thread is full of socialist weasels!

Shut up and smoke.
