Umm Harley... I only resemble a repug. Im actually a Conservative Libertarian

So, this is not a done deal, it is just one of those issues a political party sends up the flag pole now and then to test the waters...that is an interesting thing to know.

Epona, now you just hit on something that made me sit up and say "WTF!!!" You know you are absolutely right.. Smokers are already paying exorbitant taxes on the product ostensibly for the increased health care costs AND here in the states, many state Governments received millions and millions of dollars from the tobacco companies for just those reasons too...to defray the cost of health care and educate kids not to smoke.....but where did all that money go? the states seem to have squandered or stolen all those millions already...hmmmm makes you not want to trust the government with your money...
