Is this a good one.


Can anyone tell me what is going to happen if the price of cigarettes keeps going up? I feel this is what will happen.
Besides getting people to quit because they cannot afford it, it will cause more people to start stealing them. Or stealing anything they can to sell to buy a pack.
Is this what the Federal, State, and Local governments are banking on? That way they will be able to put more people in jail and collect on the fines and fees. So they will have more "trustees' " to pick up trash on the side the roads?
Are maybe they don't want to say it free labor
is slave labor and by pasting them law that is what they are doing.
One more thing we have to obey the Laws but they don't.
You sure don't hear them talking about going up on the tax for alcohol and that kills more people than smoking!
I have been emailing Senators and Representatives for a long time now and none of them EVER answer my questions.
Maybe someone can shed some light on my concerns.

What will happen if the price of cigarettes keeps going up? Hmmm...let's see....maybe more people will stop smoking so I do not have to bear the burdens of secondhand smoke. BRAVO Gov. Blanco for bringing Louisiana into the 21st century and signing the smoking ban!

HMMMMMMM, LET ME THINK CIGS SHOULD BE ABOUT 100.00 A PACK.THE TAX PAYERS FRONT THE MED BILLS FOR THE CHAIN SMOKERS WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE.AS FAR AS STEALING SO BE IT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH TIME AND LABOR IS LOST BECAUSE OF ALL THE FLAKES THAT NEED 30 CIGARETTE BREAKS A DAY. NOT TO MENTION THE SECOND HAND SMOKE THAT THE NOT-SMOKERS MUST ENDURE WHEN STANDING NEAR ONE OF THESE CANCER FREAKS. CIGARETTES IS A FILTHY HABIT. CRANK UP THE PRICE.
