Correct. About 25% of the US population is what are called "smokers". The PCT declines each year.I hope you're enjoying the laughs now. When smoking is banned completely, government will start taxing the things you enjoy to make up the shortfall. I'll be there to make sure you're still laughing when it is your ox being gored.
Smoking will not be banned.....but it will fade away
When that percentage drops to say 5-10% look for government to introduce new taxes to make up the respective revenue short falls.
When I grew up, it was over 50%
Smoking was not only allowed almost everywhere, it was encouraged. Smokers developed a lot of bad habits in those days. Today, they are much more docile as they have been driven from society
