Hey you know what, why don't we just increase the tax and make a pack $15 dollars so no one will smoke.  And what else don't we like about society... oh alcohol, well let's tax it and make a can of beer $5 each, that way no one will drink.  And how about sports cars, I mean lets face it if you're going to buy a car that goes 150 mph you're probably going to speed right.  Let's throw a 40 % tax on sports cars.   Listen you bunch of nazi's don't tell me how to live and that I shouldn't be smoking.

IF A TEENAGE KID IS GOING TO SMOKE, IT'S BECAUSE IT'S COOL AND AN EXTRA $1 A PACK IS JUST GOING TO MAKE IT COOLER AND MORE EXCLUSIVE. 

So stop your complaining and... oh I don't, spend more time with your kids! And leave me alone because I like smoking.

Great idea so we can collect enough taxes to pay for your hospitalization or the kids and the accidents and all the related stuff from people who like stuff but can't care for anyone but their selfish interests.

Good cop out and crutch for those who like to throw the bs around...

Waltham you are right on to make them help pay for their problems that we do not have to pick up the pieces

WE JUST NEED TO DO IT AND GET THE KIDS AWAY FROM THE COOL STUFF THAT ENDANGERS THEIR LIVES AND THEIR FAMILIES
