Just to add on to that I have noticed they like to complain about the health problems surrounding cigarrettes, but instead of using it to counter the so called overwhelming costs they end up using the money for something unrelated. Another thing I would like to add is the American Lung Association issued a report that living near or around Salt Lake City is the equivalent of smoking two packs a day. I am not saying cigarettes do not cause lung associated problems, but I think a lot of those problems are doubled out here. I am from a small town in Arkansas and I know a lot of old people that have smoked all their lives and I cannot seem to recall them walking around out of breath and walking around with oxygen tanks. I see a lot of that out here. I would also like to say that I believe it is wrong to profit off of others addictions and to me Paul Ray and anyone who supports this bill is no better than the cigarette companies. This bill is not to get people to quit if they wanted us to quit it would be illegal, but they see a profit in addiction and know some people struggle quitting. I agree with you.
