I am sick of being discriminated against, and looked doen upon for my addiction to nicotine. I have always been careful to consider the rights of non-smokers, but this tax thing has me pissed. We were told the money was going to be used for the benefit of cronic smokers....free, so we could kick the habit. But nowhere have I seen any movement to supply and demand I am sick to death of the lies we are being told. I want an accounting of the taxes collected and where those monies are going.

And he actually bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! Consequently: thank you and please please go on with your good work.

I can understand you wanting to quit smoking but just remember it's gonna be a hard thing to do! I know quite a few people who have started to quit only to start smoking again plus a lot of people who try to quit smoking gain more weight because they eat more food. And what is really ironic is that I have heard some people tell me that they have heard other people say that quitting "crack cocaine" is easier than quitting smoking! - Can you believe that!
