Well, we will just have to disagree about their real motivations. I stand by my opinion. If the government and researchers of smoking really wanted to solve the problem, they would stop trying to provide a get out of jail card to the smokers. Instead, they choose to enable and feed off them with promise of get out of jail card. That is hypocrisy and scam. If they really wanted it to stop, they would refuse to treat smokers and/or seek to ban it. Simply require a law to have the smokers sign a waiver from cost of their health cares related to smoking. Then they bear all the costs of their choice and the non-smokers don't have to share it. Very simple. But then you have bunch of idle researchers with nothing to do and we can't have that. Nor can we have the government lose a revenue stream.

Okay, i'm out of this thread. I grow tired trying to explain that 2+2=4 and titus jump in to tell me that '+' means to add.

Your anti-tax hysteria has got the better of you. Are you really saying that you would prefer it if the government issued a blanket ban on smoking? That in your opinion it would be better than raising taxes on cigarettes?

That's a pretty draconian response, don't you think.

I can imagine the hypocritical whinging that would ensue (from people like you) if the government even for a moment hinted at introducing such a measure....yet more evidence to feed your 'new world order' paranoia?

we wouldn't. these are highly intelligent people, do you think they would sit on their hands and do nothing?

as for teh government lose a revenue steam, that legislation you posted where they specify where the money will go... did you ignore the figures?

How big of a footprint do you think this house makes compared to yours?

I bet you there are a couple of poor flight simmers reading this that could possibly find a room to use. Why does this man (whoever this is) need all this? Isn't this excessive?

This is obviously a 1 percenter.

Eat the rich.
