23. My car? Highly doubtful.
If you don't like taxes on cigarettes, quit smoking. It's not that hard a concept to wrap your brain around (then again, if you believe that the only people effected by smoking are the smoker which apparently you do based on your thread trying to calculate the tax from smokers related to the percentage of the population, etc., then the concept might escape you).

The poor don't pay more. SMOKERS pay more. That's the way it works. Personally, I'd love to see universal healthcare implemented and smack a $10 a pack tax on cigarettes. It'd make great sense.

Let's actually make things that hurt people less desirable, it makes more sense than making it easier for those who don't give a rats ass about those around them to poison everybody they exhale around.
