Smoking will never be outlawed, there is so much money being made off smokers that if it was outlawed it would cripple the economy. I quit smoking last February and I can see the injustice. As more people quit the taxes will go up. When the money is not found from this addiction the government will go after something else like gambling, drinking or sex. Any vice is not exempt. Government rather than shrinking its bloated bellies will not go on a diet, it will just tax more to justify its needs. As I read the paper I see austerity hitting a wall. It is easy to grow and very hard to shrink departments that cater to the lazy, inept and plain ole stupid.
