By the way a 2 pack a day smoker paying $2.75 a pack in taxes for 30 years is $60,000. Show me anywhere today you can get treated for lung cancer for under $60,000? In my book smokers are still getting off light.

also what are your thoughts about paying for "all those people on govt "cheese" who are able bodied but miliking funds and so on?
