Reply #241: please explain why nonsmokers should pay the extra costs incurred by smokers [View All]

--costs in terms of public health, environmental degradation caused by farming of tobacco, manufacture and transportation of cigarettes, manufacture of packaging, litter of packaging and butts, and fires--losses to real estate as well as lives and forests.

and I couldn't care less about your obsession with "regressive taxation" (which this is not). It seems you make a point of cruising this thread--do you have any other interests besides trying to make the ridiculous case that smokers shouldn't be taxed?
