Yeah, I know. I wonder how Singapore offsets the cigarette ban they have there? I'm sure other countries do it, too. The health benefits would obviously help keep the cost of health services down, but then, I don't think America has a full-on tax-paid health service, do they? Or has that kicked in with Obama? Not sure.

Regardless, the masses of smokers in a large population will always dictate things by voting in favour of some guy who says he'll legalise smoking again once the ban is in place, so it's pretty much not gonna happen until the vast majority of the voting population stop puffing away. Not sure when that'll happen, really.
