What happens when people stop the activity being taxed or find a black market for it? What happens when that tax revenue disappears because of this? What do they go after next?
You make it so only the rich can smoke, drink and partake in what government taxes "for our benefit" and we become nothing more than second or third class citizens.
America where the streets are paved with the tears of the forefathers crying over what we have allowed the greatest country in history to become.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
