JUST OUTLAW CIGARETTES COMPLETELY AND WE WE HAVE NO PROBLEMS. HEALTH CARE COSTS WOULD GO DOWN AND THE ANNOYING HABITS OF SMOKERS WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM ANYMORE. IT'S AMAZING THAT SMOKERS CAN SLOWLY KILL THEMSELVES VOLUNTARILY AND NON-SMOKERS NEED TO PAY HIGH HEALTH CARE COSTS WHEN SMOKERS EVENTUALLY WIND UP ON THEIR DEATH BED FROM THEIR SELF INDUCED HABIT. IT'S A PROVEN FACT THAT CIGARETTES KILL BUT THEY KEEP PAYING $7.00 PER PACK AND DON'T THINK TWICE. THE GOVERNMENT LOVES IT BECAUSE THEY GET ALL THE TAX DOLLARS FROM THE SALE OF CANCER STICKS.

HEY RAY.....If they outlawed ciggarettes, you would have to make up for it some other way by paying more taxes on something else, so leave the smokers alone, if they choose to pay the high price/tax on them, then its really not hurting you until they do outlaw it, which means you are definatley going to have to PAY HIGHER TAXES!!!!! like 10% drink tax which we have in allegheny county thanks to dan onorato! buy a beer at hapopy hour, then pay 10% on top of your $3.50! its reality buddy!

I guess you think that marajuana and other drugs are better that cigarettes.
None of you condemn the increasing use of drugs but you constantly condemn cigarettes.
I am not a smoker and I do not use any drugs but I see the politicians attempting to legalize drugs. You are such fools.

Health care costs? I guess you have a way to stop fat people from eating? Or don't consider all the fat people dying of self-induced illness? lol
