Tobacco is a tax on poor people who accidentally picked up a habit they wish they didn't have. It can cost thousands a year. There isn't a smoker out there who wishes they were addicted. I'd know since my community is a bunch of smokers in KY, the cheapest backy in the world.
As educated people in the US have been quitting in larger and larger numbers, it has cut into the profits of the tobacco companies so they have redoubled their efforts to get children addicted in other countries.
And, lottery tickets are a tax on idiots.
People never learn that big money is big for a reason.
