I used to smoke. I stopped not because of health reasons, but because the tax hikes were too much to afford. If you don't like secondhand smoke, the fact that they have to pay a disproportionately higher amount of tax then you do, means you have to suffer it. They paid extra so you may breathe their bad air. If you hold the tobacco companies responsible, you must also find the government responsible. The Goverment is probably making a better profit in some states. Since these are tax dollars that you don't have to pay, you should start thanking random smokers who happen to be within breathing distance. They're killing themselves so you have less to pay. Just sit back and enjoy the FREE smoke that this poor asshole's hard earned dollars were spent to share.
