Fair enough. I know once Karen and I sat down and worked out how much she would have spent on cigarettes and (especially) wine over her life. I know it came out to five figures easily.

You live in California though. I assume you have to get a bank loan for a pack of smokes.

And TH was talking about how raising prices didn't cause anyone to quit, so thanks for backing up my point.

I'm sorry is this a debate? Cause if so then it's one of the lamer ones I've ever seen on this site.

It's one of those things where you brought up a counterpoint.

It balances out the healthcare costs smoking creates. :)

Do they actually balance or does one cost/provide more? Considering that smoking continues to decline I don't know that it makes sense continue to raise the tax.
