Maybe this will be a step toward saving them from themselves. Smokers’ health care costs and reductions in quality of life and work productivity could improved.

Smokers are also the ones sitting in subsidized housing hooked up to oxygen and taking 25 pills a day to exist in retirement and being carted
to the ER in an ambulance to have some cardio-pulmonary issue examined with several days hospital stay. And so by collecting those taxes now, it may help reduce the burden of those of us who try to live healthier lives and already pay through the nose.

Why does every politician think that every time they need to find money that smokers must pay. Does he not realize that low & middle income people make up a majority of smokers.

Obama is a traitor to those that voted for him. – His betrayal shows he is merely a puppet for corporations. For a few to have more than they need, many will have less than they need.
