You answered before I could. Smoking is a dangerous habit, but then, so is a lot of other habits. I don't like smoking, but I will disagree that it ought to be taxed separately because of its unpopularity. I'm not going to the second hand smoking controversy, because the verdict is still out scientifically. Third hand smoke is a ridiculous theory. It sets a fearful precedent that, once accepted, allows other products or behavior that is not "pc" at the time, to be taxed at a greater rate. In other words, it allows the government to indirectly control behavior by penalizing those that don't meet its suggestions. That is my concern; not defending smoking. I am worried that the door is now open to government control in a new direction. Remember, all governments hate restraints and will always look for ways around it. That's the point of the Constitution. "If men were angels, we wouldn't need a government." Thank you, Salt. You answered before I could.

I know this is OT but, why do the Obama’s need to redecorate the white house? With the economy in the tank, isn’t that unnecessary spending?
