The dense person is probobly you, because you should be asking yourself a question and that question is why they havent banned smoke all together. Theres a reason behind everything.................
I know some people are going to hate me for this, but you have to see it from a real point of view.
Im not saying its good to smoke, sure its bad for your health and all, but think about it 80% tax for smokes? do you really think that they need it for health care ...........let me break it down:
Say you smoke 1 pack a day and the price is $9 per pack and $7.2 should be going for health care. Let just say you smoke for 15 years 7.2x365x15= $39,420 towards health care. Then one day you say f*** it and you quit $39,420 goes towards health care because of your bad habit or DOES IT?, if it doesnt then it goes towards something else . Say somebody gets sick because of smoking for 15 years, there $39402 goes towards helping them recover and say the other guy that smoked and never got sick his $39402 is used if the other guys expenses exceed $39,420.
If you think about it, if you smoke till you die and never get sick the government makes a killing off you, and if you do get sick the government has lots and lots of money to help you out. You need to remember that if you smoke its doesnt mean that you will automaticaly die it just increases your risk of cancer or other deseases.
AND yes I do understand that some people get sick from second hand smoke and its bad because its not there choice, hence why the goverment wants to you to smoke outside, beacause they are losing money that they use to pay more for health care.
My main point is, I bet you out of that 80% they tax us on smokes 10% is really for health care.
