Re: Interesting?
Well, us here are costing the system even more then. Cigar and pipe smokers have a life expectancy 4 years longer than nonsmokers. It's the cigarette smokers we need to be praising. They pay into Social Security and whatnot all their lives and usually die before collecting any or all of it. "Take One For the Team to Save Social Security - Grab a Smoke!"

Got a source on that? Would love to have that for future reference when I'm arguing with some whiny smoke-banners!

There's an old thread around here with a link to a web page that sourced every study ever done on smoking basically. I'll look for it, but you can just put "cigars and health" into the search and I think you'll get it.

Re: Interesting?
So, new/higher tobacco taxes are NOT heath care related any more than they are a punishment to smokers for doing something that is politcally out of favor.

Re: Interesting?
The sad part about these higher taxes is that the services proposed are not even targeting cigar smokers. It is a shame that one class of people pay for benefits offered to another group.
