I quit smoking in 1993. Obama raised the taxes on cigarettes in 2009 as soon as he got into office (Democrats controlled both houses), so much more money was made by our beloved government from smokers. I do not mind other people smoking; I do mind that the government claims smoking is evil but still makes a ton of money from taxing it. If smoking kills people, then outlaw it. Oh, wait, no, then the government couldn’t get all that money from smokers. Never mind.
