You can hate smokers all you like and any other minority you don't care for because we do live in a free country. Allowing criminal and inequitable sanctions levied against them for choosing to use a legal product though is another matter entirely. I half expect supporters of this bill to crack a smile wondering how far this charade can go. This joke's on the poor but I don't think they'll get it. The largest tax increase in history imposed on the poorest class in the country benefitting those with exponential incomes. The amount of jobs this will cost, families broken and businesses folding in a failing economy is appalling. Is it even legal for the tax on a product to exceed the manufacture, delivery and retail markup costs combined? All this with the ironic twist that Big Tobacco will profit and grow bigger and stronger in the end.

I suggest that every legislator who votes to pass this outrageous tax increase and floor tax be incarcerated for willingly destroying small businesses and Price-Gouging the Poor!
