Thank you very much.

This is How I and thousands of people make their livings, in the Tobacco Industry. Oh, guess what was the first cash crop of the New Colonies that became America?

There was once a Flag that had "Dont Tread On Me".

Dont I have rights along with those that do and want to smoke?

If there is no smoking space for me and My Ilk, they do not get My Money!

Tobacco is the first, what then, Liquor, driving a car unless it is partly electric?

Oh lest we forget, McDonalds Frys or the fat food for Obese Ass wholes who love great greasy Burgers with buns.

Or, Chinese, Italian, Beef, Bread, Salt, Eggs that are bad for us.

Bread, the biggest Baker in the Country is Located in K C. They are in bankruptcy as Bread and Twinkies (100) Years old are not good for you!

Why not worry more about AIR Pollution and Global Warming? Oh, Smokers dont have the Lobbiests that Oil and Utilities have.

The Number 1 taxed item in the Good Old USA is Tobacco, Philip Morris gave 90 Million in taxes in one year to the Federal Govt and this dosnt count State, City, and County Taxes, the largest single tax of any business in the country. Take out of Tobacco Taxes and Jobs, where will that money come from and where will the people find jobs?

People can still smoke - most of my family smokes (although I don't), and I have many friends who do. This doesn't keep them from being able to smoke, and they're all still buying as many cigarettes as usual. It just means they're spending more time finding a place to smoke.

Have any facts that back up your assertion that the tobacco industry is suffering because of this?
