It's been no secret for the past several decades that cigarettes kill people and that the government and the public in general have been cracking down. Taxes, stricter laws, smoking bans in public places. This hasn't exactly just popped out at anyone.
If people quit smoking, they're not going to magically start saving that money under their pillowcase. They're going to spend it elsewhere, creating jobs in those fields.

Wow, how Proffetic you seem to be as you have never seem to have been in a small business.
Changing Product line up in My business is very hard, and I have tried to expand out somewhat. Say soft drinks, chips, nuts, incense or meat snacks.
Yes, there is a crusade about tobacco killing people per the AMA. But what else kills people? Perscription drugs maybe? Air quality from gasoline etal?
So, where are all of these Dollars that they use from not smoking going to?
What fields are they going to spend the $$ in?
Oh, maybe spend them over seas for outsourcing, or recalled Chinese lead based toys that Our Big Companies buy from? They then are recalled from the dangers of death?
Thanks for Your response, now are you going to send a report to Mod Corner about this post?
