And imo it is more than 20% of the pop that smokes.
Smoking rate up from 27% to 29% since 2002
Found this on another forum --------- I don't think that they know ---.Just like all their "facts" -they make them up.
The opinion of some have it that the "TAX" has people quitting without considering, that many like myself, have bought over a years supply and have tobacco growing as we speak.
-J.C.- Yeah, they don't seem to realize they are just driving us underground. The more the government tries to restrict people, the more people rebel. I have tobacco plants growing on my windowsill even as I type this. They are actually reducing the likelihood that I will quit smoking every time they raise the tax or otherwise try to tell me what to do. I do not respond well to coercion. |

Just ask Obama for a bail-out. All other MAJOR companies are doing it. This will be a communist country before long. We are losing all our rights as ADULTS. Tobacco is legal to grow but illegal to smoke in most areas of the so called FREE USA. I'm ready to move to Denmark. They have the good stuff to smoke. LOL

Six Flags seeks Chapt. 11 bankruptcy protection
NEW YORK (AP) - The amusement park company Six Flags is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, saying it needs to reorganize and shed $1.8 billion of debt.
Mark Shapiro, the New York-based company's chief executive officer, says the move won't affect the operation of its 20 theme parks in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Six Flags says it actually had a great year in 2008. It saw 25 million visitors and posted record revenues. But executives are trying to lighten a $2.4 billion debt load that they say is unsustainable.
Saturday's bankruptcy filing came after an earlier plan to negotiate an out-of-court deal with creditors failed.
Six Flags shares have traded below $1 since September. They closed at 26 cents on Friday. |

Going for the "low-hanging" fruit. That is related to investing, not sexual orientation, so please don't flame me  |
