I'm just trying to point out that since tobacco companies have so much money to spare, why not use a little bit to help out with healthcare? You do understand that right?
The multimillion dollar lawsuits show already that it will only INCREASE the price of cigarettes to compensate the loss. In the end you are hurting the smokers that will buy them regardless(well those addicted to the nicotine anyway). Whether that is a good thing or not is something up to you.
