Quoted: How bout we ALSO stop taxing the bejesus out of tobacco and alcohol It's kind of a two way street though. Tax money supports dying smokers. Therefore I don't particularly see the problem with taxing it out of the ass. Either make them pay for their own medical bills when they get lung cancer, or let them pay for their future treatments as they're killing themselves. For what it's worth, I smoked for a couple of years, switched to E-cigs, and still enjoy an occasional cigar or pipe (once a year for both at this point), or a tin of snus if I run dry of e-liquid (once every few months on average). I don't hate habitual smokers though. It's an adult choice, but whether you smoke or not, you can't deny the real health risks associated with smoking. It's the one thing I can understand taxing respectively. There's not many other legal substances that carry the same toxicity as tobacco products consumed via combustion. |

But dammit , we dont really need to spend any tax money on a federal department . If the states tax it , then that's another matter ...another argument...but we really need to rewrite/unwrite and simplify the firearms laws and dump the BATFE . It's bloated,rotting dead weight . |
