| draik said: I'm a smoker, but they should just outright ban it. Stop raising taxes on it under the pretence that you are doing it for our own good. "If it costs more you'll smoke less or quit", no you are not trying to do us a favour, you're raking in cash. If the government really cared about our health then they would ban it. |
Except banning it would be about as effective as the prohibition was. Raising taxes, preventing marketing and education are the way to eliminate smoking.
