I know I am highly outnumbered here, but I have to agree 100% w/Grumble.

I try my best to live in areas in which smoking is banned in public places, certainly in areas that don't allow smoking in restaurants, for example. My daughter is actually allergic to tobacco plus has asthma, and we've had to leave restaurants that had smoking sections because of her reaction to the second-hand smoke at those places. Smoke is like pee in the pool; it doesn't stay in one spot.

I agree that there are many areas in which high taxes or taxes period could be applied and are not, but just because they are not doesn't mean that cigarettes shouldn't be taxed.

Obviously, I'm a nonsmoker.
