If these anti-smoking politicians are so concerned about the health of the general population, they should focus their time on corporate pollution. Not tobacco smoke, soft drinks and fatening foods.
Can I get an Amen on this one? |

I trust neither of you are so naive as to believe that these taxes are being proposed because politicians are so concerned about the health and welfare of their constituents. |

| Of course its not about public health, we've got to pay for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and other things like this new war bill, 2346 I think. They have you believe that they care about your health by adding swine flu pandemic prep into this $100,000,000,000 war bill. |
