It was a way for greedy politicians and lawyers to steal money away from a despised group-smokers (thanks to years of media brainwashing and hysteria). Don't think for a minute the tobacco companies paid a red cent-they just passed the costs along to the consumer.Darkseidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608965331026557448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-6726713904137886232008-04-17T08:54:00.000-04:002008-04-17T08:54:00.000-04:00Ah Maggie,Obviously you are not using the foresigh...Ah Maggie,<BR/><BR/>Obviously you are not using the foresight that our political leaders in Columbus are.

But then... what do I know... that would make too much sense. LOL!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966847290906915571noreply@blogger.com
