Booze was outlawed once and folks still got it. If they ever do tax the tobacco users out of existence, watch the gov't cry about the sudden shortfall in revenue, then raise taxes on other items to make up for the loss.

LMBO!!! Sarge, that's so ludicrous that if cigs did go away, I bet the government would do just that.

Yup, like it or not, cigs are one of the biggest revenue earners for any government anywhere. I have been smoking for the past 14 years and the prices have risen around 10 fold in that time.
