Smoking

[Guest guest]

Smoking is a nasty, unhealthy, money sucking habit. I'll explain. 1,

Most smokers smell bad and pollute the air with their smoke. 2,

Smoking leads to chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cancer,

and Heard disease just to name a few.

3, Smokers spend 3 or 4 dollars a day on cigarettes. A lot will retire

with little or no savings to speak of. Just think of how much they

could have by saving that money instead of smoking it away. Plus, many

smokers will end up in the hospital with the diseases I mentioned

before. They most likely use Medicare and Medicaid to pay their bill.

Who pays for that? Taxpayers! We pay for that. I say go ahead and

raise cigarette taxes.
