You're right, I don't give a shit about smoker's having to pay 50 bucks a deck. Make it an even hundred.
One thing, it will stop a lot of kids from smoking.

No problem on my part there either.
Tax the crap out of alcohol too as far as I am concerned.

Plus, they burn way too much gas and are polluting the air. Air I breathe. If you want to drive your SUV, do it without spewing toxic chemicals into MY atmosphere. They are PUBLIC roads right? What right do these damn SUV drivers have to pollute my atmosphere. Besides, they are way more likely to flip over than any other vehicle. Do these people have a death wish? Lets ban SUV's for their safety and our own. Hell, we need to ban cars altogether. All this global warming is going to kill the cute little penguins..

I totally agree with you. In fact, I might even take it one step further and slap a million dollar tax on an ignorant P.O.S. like a hummer, and a $500,000 tax on all Lincoln Aviators and Cadalac whatevers
Totally ignorant vehicles. No-one needs to drive things like that.

Very simple.
Second hand smoke is dangerous to my health. You do not have the right to make me sick with your filthy nasty disgusting stinking habit.
Plus I don't recall smokers rights being protected in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
