Well, not really. Most of that goes into general revenue. Pay for part of the medical expenses smokers incur as direct result of their smoking.
Please don't misunderstand me, a far as I'm concerned, smokers may smoke their brains out. As long as I don't have to pay their medical bills. There are already doctors who will refuse to operate on a smoker.
How much is a pack of 20 in the US? I guess the tobacco lobby is still too powerful to allow the US government to increase the price by say $5 a packet?
Bottom line is; smoke and it will probably kill you. In 2003 I realised that if I did not stop smoking , I was going to die . I'd made several attempts before. The difference the last time was I made a committed decision to stop for my own sake. Cold turkey. The hardest thing I've ever done, even harder than giving up drinking.
