I wonder if, when we get communist health care in this country, if the gubment will just go ahead and ban tobacco altogether? It's a serious drag on the health care system, and once the government death-star takes over health care then smoking related illnesses will be everyone's problem. (well, they already are, but this would just be a more obvious pretext).

Rather than create a poor precedent by which the government tells private businesses in yet another way how they are allowed to run their business, why not just ban tobacco altogether?

They'll just pass the BILLION'S of lost tax revenue on to your property taxes. Then hammer alcohol taxes since that kills more people. It's only fair.
