Re: smokers tax
I am conservative and I support a cigarette tax absolutely. It is not a question of the government impinging on our rights...it is a public health issue. There is not even an iota of positive that comes from smoking. It is unquestionably bad for the smoker, probably bad for those around him/her and is a blight on our healthcare system. All the other things mentioned have some potential positives to them so to me they would require way more nuance. But cigs ought to be taxed out of existence if it were up to me.
