It is amazing how people's attitude change when they decide they want to
own or use what they formally wanted to ban.

For me, the converse is also true, especially with cigarettes.

Cigarettes are nasty. But they are a legal drug and people ought to have
some freedom of choice. Limit where they can smoke in public places, but as
long as the rest of us do not have to pay for their habit, let them smoke.
Disclaimer: I do own a decent part of Altria, but do not smoke.

We do pay for much of the results of their habits. I had pneumonia (sp?)
twice, and even spent some time in the hospital with it. I couldn't tell
you the number of times I went to the doc with bronchitis, not to mention
the problems with teeth and gums caused by cigarettes. As I was in the
military, *we* paid for it with our taxes.

I don't propose making cigarettes illegal, but I'd be in favor of making
them much harder to acquire, especially for minors. It's very sad driving
by the high schools and seeing the groups of kids puffing away just off
school property.

Tell me - just out of curiosity - which costs Americans more in terms
of dollars - cigarettes or drunk drivers.

Think about it first before you answer.


My guess would be cigarettes. Most drunk drivers don't cost Americans
anything, unless they're involved in an accident or put behind bars. I'm
guessing that only a small percent of those who have driven drunk have had
an accident or been caught. I know I never was!

You would be wrong. It's almost two to one in terms of dollars.


I would guess that it is a lot greater number than that. Overall, smoking
does not cost the non smoking taxpayer anything. Taxes on cigarettes are
more than enough to pay for all the health care required, and studies show
that since smokers die younger than non-smokers there is a net gain from SS
and other costs for long term health problems in old age.
