USA Today Article on Reduction of Smoking Because of Taxes - My Comment

Smoking bans are just another way to keep the government from going back to a 90% income tax bracket for the extremely wealthy. Making smoking a dangerous habit is just another way of shifting the tax burden to the poor and the middle class. There are too many old chain smokers in the world, including myself, for the tax justification. People are just too stupid and vulnerable to question the junk science behind smoking bans and they follow their preconceived notions instead of their common sense. Sometimes the world remains flat and nobody has been to the moon.
