<<Smokers metabolize their caloric intake differently. >> I've read where that is true. Smoking causes a person to burn about 1/3 more calories. <<When we all quit smoking, as we are being told to do, where does the government think it will get its revenue?>> Since they have raised the taxes there hasn't been a big revenue gain. Casual smokers have quit and fewer have taken up the habit. At the time of the last increase I noticed a rise in the number of vendors selling cartons out of the back of trucks for $10 per carton. Higher taxes, more crime.
