I just had another e-mail (17th) read on CNN...

The question was, "Is it a good idea to increase cigarette taxes 61 cents a pack to help pay for children's health insurance?"

My answer was, "Yes! Many children suffer from second-hand smoke of their parents, so maybe this will cause some people to stop smoking, for the monetary cost if not for the health of their children. And it gives smokers with no children an incentive to quit as well. It's a win for everybody except the tobacco business.".

(It's not really political, I guess, but it was the question asked at 6pm). :hi:
