I think that Bruce Watson has an excellent idea. As for the price of
cigarettes - tax the living shit out of them. Also with health
insurance - increase the premiums for present and future health costs
that they will inflict on the system. In some way, get the government
to create a tax for future use of the social security health care
system for a smoker. Have the government charge for the damage a
smoker does to his children. At this point, a smoker will still
retain his privilage to smoke, but the son of a bitch will have to pay
for his damages and not all the rest of us.

Don't limit yourself to actual costs. Make up wildly exaggerated numbers. No one will see
through the lie. See TFK and ACS websites for examples.


Uhh .. perhaps you should rephrase. Smokers collect less social security, not more.

There you go. Nationalize children. They're not HIS children, they belong to the state.


Smoking is a privilege (note correct spelling), like driving a car, so it should require a
license. A very expensive license. Make them wear a big scarlet S so good citizens know
whom to shun. Maybe put them in stocks in he twon square.

Hey, this might work! For your obsessive mind, I am not going to
waste my time doing a spellcheck to worry about the correct spelling
of a word. Maybe you will obsess about this all day long. Scarlet
"S" on someones forehead might be a good idea. Lots of people are
shunning the stink already - they don't need a brand - the smell is a
dead giveaway.

Of course they're HIS. He caused them to be born and he should have every
right to do with them what he pleases, correct?
Don't limit yourself to exposing them to toxic substances though, by all
means send them to work in coal mines, use them for your own ***ual
gratification...

excellent idea. As for a smoker's children, they have no rights.
They are at the mercy of their parents. It comes back in dividends in
their later life when they are too sick to supportthemselves.

Pennyless bums don't pay for anything...
You need a job to do the talking troll wannabe....
seems like kicking your grandpa in the balls didn't pay much Huh?

There is no discount rate for non smokers in Social security.
Social security is your own money minus the matching portion
from your employer...according to how much you make.
Have you ever paid the max??
I doubt you ever have...

Tax cigarettes all you want...we' ll buy them tax free....
You keep saying the government the government..
ask not what you country can do for you...
ask what you can do for your country....

That take's the ability to do anything....
since you can hold a job anywhere...
there's no worry there either troll...

Take more of those mind bending med's and let us
really know how you feel K00K.

You really don't understand anything if you think tax and
law is gonna stop smokers that want to smoke.
But we enjoy seeing what you anti~ smokers have in stock
upstairs, so keep up the good work.!
And then Real titty Chick @þÜ-T®Ø££$
pissed on you.

Tax cigarettes all you want...we' ll buy them tax free....
You keep saying the government the government..
ask not what you country can do for you...
ask what you can do for your country....


If the taxes go up, you will still be paying a premium because
the mob or whoever, will be selling at a profit. The taxes go up
the mob's prices go up. You will still be paying a premium
for you smokes. The days where you could buy a $.17 pack
of smokes is as romote as when you could buy a French, German or
Jap[enese woman in an occupied country for a $.17 pack of smokes.
So are your privilages to smoke in public. You now have the drafty,
snowy,
rainy outdoor smoking lounge for your comfort. And as you are
sitting in front of your computer screen, you are frantically puffing
away at your cigarette obsessing on how to get even with
me.

One thing each of us can do is cut down on pollution we generate, both
indoor and outdoor, as much as possible. Sure, some nicotine addicts
will buy their cancer sticks via the Internet, but most won't bother.

I live in NJ, and I know for a fact that some nicotine addicts drive
across the board to Delware to buy their cancer sticks, but I suspect
most don't. Why? Even for large purchases, such as a television,
computer, etc. the Best Buy right down the street from me is always busy
with people buying items where if they drove for half an hour, they
could go to the Best Buy in North Wilmington, DE and make the same
purchase tax free, but they don't. I asked some friends who buy big
ticket items locally why they do that and they say its not worth their
time to drive to Delaware and they worry about what to do if there's a
problem and they have to return an item so they won't order online,
except for small items such as books and such. So I have no doubt that
most people are too lazy to buy their cancer sticks tax free. Go figure!

On the other hand, even some who have bought tax free cigarettes via the
Internet have been caught and billed for the taxes. A local newspaper
ran an article about one woman in a nearby town where NJ government sent
her a $1,200 bill for cigarette taxes. I have no idea how they knew to
do that, but they did and her appeals fell on deaf ears. This woman said
in her interview that she couldn't afford the $1,200 so she was forced
to set up a payment plan to reconcile the taxes.

So even if you are "smart" enough to buy cigarettes tax free, there is
no guarantee that your home state might not find out about it and send
you a tax bill.

There's no need to affix any symbols to smokers. The cigarette, pipe, or
cigar in their mouths is a dead giveaway, not to mention their stench
from old tobacco fumes.

So again, doofus, explain the reasoning behind an obsessed, no-life,
schlepp with 42,274 troll droppings scattered about 550+ newsgroups
calling others addicts. Perhaps we missed your early offerings of
sound rationale. You, my candy-ass friend, are the very last person to
refer to others as addicts. And right behind you are your two looney
gal-pals, Nits Watson and The KKKolorado KKKook, Voxie.
