You’re making a stupid argument by overstating the importance of tobacco tax revenue. It’s a drop in the bucket in tax revenue. It’s not finding “all their social programs”. I can’t even come close to paying for the massive costs of smoking.
Cigarette taxes are incredible effective. Tax a thing, you get less of it. Smoking isn’t just bad for people, it’s bad for the country. It’s simple enough, I find it hard that people are against it.
They’re probably just reflexively opposing anything democrats support.
Well you see we real Americans don't believe that the government should be using taxation as a method into beat the citizenry into submission. That's not what taxes were designed to do. Forcing government way of thinking is what they do in North Korea or Cuba. Perhaps move there if you approve of such forceful methods of controlling the people.
