This is nothing but a continued blatant attack on a group of people who are doing nothing illegal. It's forced submission. Either make tobacco products illegal or leave me the hell alone.

Fortunately I don't live in New York. I can still buy a pack of cigarettes for less than $5.00.

Last year was kind of interesting because every time I went to continental Europe from London, I got about 10 requests to bring cartons of cigarettes back because the tax in the UK is enormous. I've had friends quit smoking because of the cost of cigarettes, so... yay!
