The government is attempting to put obscene taxes on this product. Tobacco has been subsidized by the government for many years. At the same time, they are encouraging everyone to stop smoking. It is politically correct to be against smoking. They should be consistent, if they are legitimately concerned about our welfare, why not attack the booze industry.
Booze kills more people, destroys more families and produces more widows and orphans than tobacco.
Even the Bible clearly teaches that drinking booze is wrong. Smoking, on the other hand, is not specifically mentioned in scripture. I am not for tobacco or alcohol. If the government really thinks smoking is so bad, they should make it illegal. I would be for that, but it is not right to pick out a legal product and use the full force of government to attack it.
