It made me quit smoking. It wasn't the only thing, it when it happened it was the final thing. I was like I have to pay even more to feel this shitty? Fuck that.

Taxing ciggys in a country that has single payor UHC makes sense

taxing ciggys in a country where don't have that is complete theft

Even if it don’t make them stop smoking they gotta pay more to be increased drain in the system

It would create a shift towards healthier options imo ?

Maybe we can even give tax breaks for healthier foods idk. I’m open minded lol. 2021 is year of the tomato, 15% of all tomato purchases tax deductible this year !
