Your post is hovering on the border of alert-able flamebait. I don't know where you are getting all these other things from what I posted. I think you are extrapolating wildly.

As for the cigarette tax, I don't oppose it at all. I'm merely pointing out that if it acheives one of its ultimate goals, that is people quitting smoking, then the revenue will have to come from somewhere else. Hell, I support legalizing, regulating, and taxing marijuana, largely for the reasons you state. I believe the money saved by no longer criminalizing it, combined with the taxes collected, could go toward providing universal health care.
