Nemo,
What about all the middle class tax dollars that had to go to medicare to pay for smokers that got cancer...and many of those taxpayers didn't even smoke. If you smoke, shouldn't you pay for your OWN demise?

Nemo - Re: " the tobacco industry is going to pick up the tab for
the lawsuits without eventually passing it on to the smokers?"

You said nothing about smokers - you mentioned a middle class tax increase.
