| Randy Moho's statement comparing smoking to "molestation" is simply more idiotic ranting by those who would trample individual rights. I am a non-smoker but I have more of a problem with people telling others what they can or cannot do than I do with secondhand smoke. Leave people alone. Using Randy's analogy, anti-smoking laws are exterminating the individual's right to consent to a "touching", to be (as he says) "molested". In California, Princeton New Jersey and other areas passing strong antismoking laws, people cannot operate restaurants or bars that allow smoking. Why not? I am a willing individual who consents to being "forced to breath air contaminated by selfhish individuals." If people want to operate smoking establishments, let them do so. If you don't like smoking, don't go. It is as simple as that. Noone will be "forcing" you to breathe your so-called "contaminated air". I (and I am sure many others) are sick and tired of being told what is "good for us." I will decide what is good for me and what I can handle on my own. You are welcome to have your own plastic, air-filtered bubble of a life but leave me and my smoking friends alone to make our own choices, you self righteous asses. |

| The word of the day should be CHOICE. Every day we here about choice this and that. You choose not to, I should choose to be able to. I talk to a lot of non smokers every day that have said the same thing and feel for us. Too bad only some people have a CHOICE. |

| I agree with you - we should all have the choice to smoke. Let's not let them take that away from us! |

| I have discovered and am holding proof that cigarettes bought in NY are thinner and shorter. We are paying more for less. Cigarettes bought directly have not changed. Who can investigate this? |

| If you're a 20-yo Republican why are you voting Democrat? Just kidding - but I would go one step further. The Democrat party isn't much better. I suggest the Socialist Party, because that's a group that gets things done! |

| I am a New Yorker. New Yorkers have been hit with the highest tax raise on cigarettes to pay for health care of illegals. Unfortunately I have chosen to smoke for 30 + years and although I do not know what the future holds for me I have never ever been treated for a smoke related illness. Yet I am now paying for other people's health care that do not even belong in the country and paying for the enormous lawsuits that the tobacco companies are being unfairly hit with. I found a way to get around the new taxes. I just don't buy them in New York anymore. Yet, the one time when I had to before my new cartons arrived from Kentucky I compared the ones I had left from the pack I bought in New York to the new ones and low and behold for the more money we are paying in New York we are getting less cigarette. I don't really care except for the fact that it seems to have become just fine with society and the government and the tobacco companies to screw the smoker and the person who is paying all their bills. My question is: Whose screwing us?The government or the tobacco company? Or are they in this together? |

| People, this is a serious question. Our excess cigarette costs are going to health care and other crap, while non-smoking citizens get off without having to pay extra taxes. If Mama Tobacco has to pay $145B, and we have to pay extra for every pack, where the hell is all this extra money going? |
