Switch to Marijuana. It's free. (you can grow your own)
And it's healthier than cigarettes.

My argument makes perfect sense. See your bais is showing. By the way only 40,000 people die in car accidents. At least 10 times that many die from smoking.

I'm not saying that smoking has negligible health effects. I'm saying that when a non smoker complains about second hand smoke, they're silly for allowing their lawmakers to ignore the primary problems of pollution.

I read a study from one Canadian city that calculated that for every minute that a car idles, it's equivilent to 1 million cigarettes worth of second hand smoke. In terms of carcinogens.. Thats a pretty big deal, but again it's not a "sexy" issue. Lawmakers know that to make it with the votes, they have to do popular easy to pass things that can be completed while they're still in office. Like banning smoking in mall parking lots n shit, lol.

But anyway, smoking is bad and people should quit. And if you idle your car more than 30 seconds, shame on you too. Turn it off, save gas, save money, save lungs.

Sorry, I didn't see this till now.

It takes a minimum of 2 weeks to get to her in the Southeast. Sometimes it's around 3, or a little more. I just make sure that I do her re-orders in plenty of time so that she's not freaking out when she gets down to the last pack or two.

And guess who saves on Social Security payouts? YOU the taxpayer. So maybe the government should subsidize smoking?

I don't. People smoke for 30 years get smoking related disease then it's the TAXPAYERS that end up paying their medical bills. Or parents smoke their kids get asthma then WE the taxpayer are footing the kids medical bills. some bitch smokes will pregnant her baby is born underweight and needs expensive medical treatment. who pays for that? WE the taxpayers. So no I'm not sorry if smokers have to pay $2.75 in tax for a pack of smokes. So either the smokers finally start paying for some of thier medical care through these taxes or they quit which results in less tax $$ being needs ot pay for medical care. Either way it benefits the taxpayer.

easy enough solution, the federal and state governments should stop paying for healthcare. Prices of healthcare would drop in a heart beat.

You really believe that money will be spent on health care?

Just like social security was set aside.

do you even know what bias is? you seem to use that word where it doesnt belong. was it a new word you heard on msnbc? anyways, how many die each year as a result of obesity? isnt obesity just behind cancer on biggest killers annually? obesity has been linked to cancer also so if you think fast food giants arent contributing to the growing numbers of morbidly obese fucks getting cancer then you're crazy. so again, why not tax mcdonalds? the fat fucks who live on that food alone cost the tax payers BILLION in HEALTH CARE. better yet... how about we setup another government bureaucracy to determine and tax foods based on their calorie/nutrition ratio. 50% tax on candy because that leads to obesity which leads to cancer. btw, arent the same poor people you cry about smoking cigs also the ones who eat the majority of the fast/unhealthy food?

again, gatorb=retard.
or am you are the bais?

**Evil E** · 06-06-2008, 07:37 PM

Cigarettes and booze should be taxed up the ass. Better than raising the price of electricity and gas.
