Re: Misappropriation of Funds
said by manfmmd  :No kidding, if smoking is "that bad", ban it entirely. I KNEW that the states would not use the money appropriately, they misappropriate their general tax revenue, IMHO, so this is no suprise. Are YOU kidding??! Ban smoking?? It's taxed more than beer!
California is proposing they raise taxes again $2.50 on a pack.. That's estimated to produce a revenue of 2 BILLION. Cigarettes are just another way of getting even more money.. They might say "Oh well higher prices keep kids from smoking" when in REALITY it's because they KNOW there's always going to be smokers, so it's addiction money
If kids want to smoke THEY'LL SMOKE! It doesn't matter how many retarded ads they put on TV, there's always someones parent will buy them for them or other ways. The point of it is the buzz, at least for most.
