RE:"I haven't noticed licquor stocks going up but the reason tobacco stocks, particularly MO, are going up is because the street's expectation is that a Republican administration will not be so hard on them.......in fact, will let them go ahead and addict more people without paying any more fines."

If cigarrettes are so bad why aren't they illegal. Why pussy foot around making the Lawyers rich. Ban them...
The government is very hypocritical on this...

After all, the rationalization is that if people are too weak to quit, they deserve to die.

No the rationalization is that people are free to mess themselves up if they want to and if they people do drink to much or smoke it is their responsibility they were not locked up by an alcahol or tobacco company and forced to smoke or drink.
