Cigarrette smuggling in Md.

[jsarno]

These debates always make me laugh. Why would it matter if they taxed the hell out of cigs unless you were a cig addict? Fact is, you do not need cigs in any form or fashion to live. There is absolutely no need for it...none, not even a minor need. So if you don't like the tax...dont smoke!
Howard Stern (whom I can't stand) made a valuable point MANY years ago. If you don't like me, turn the channel. I have every time he comes on. The point is dead on here too...if you don't like the tax on it, stop smoking.
RAISE CIG TAXES!

We don't need to talk to live either. Should there be a tax on talking? Studies show that running off at the mouth can be very dangerous, even more so than cigarettes.

Really? That's your argument? This is why I laugh. So tell you what, teach everyone to communicate in sign language, then you have an argument, until then, you can come up with an argument that holds a "tiny bit" of water other than your argument that is totally inept.

Yeah it was a stupid argument. That's because I was making fun of yours. It's all good when it's someone else, but when it's you, well . . . . That's wrong!

Oh God Js, you're starting to sound like the dems. What's going on here?! lol

I don't smoke but tons of my friends do. I love how they're like, "Mmm. I should stop smoking, the tax is so high..." *puffs away on a cig* I gotta admit, I'm in the same boat as you though, Js. But if they start taxing my bacon, I'll be raising hell.

Well you know, I am a registered independant!
I still think if cigs are legal, they should legalize weed and tax the hell out of it.
(yup, i did it, I opened that can of worms.)

Decriminalization of weed should've happened long, long ago. I hope I live to see it.

I agree and I think it's heading that way eventually. Perhaps in our lifetime we'll see it.

I think we will see it sooner rather than later. With the economy the way it is states like CA and NJ have looked into it. CA actually has a bill that they are trying to pass. Once one state passes it and if the federal government(With the administration now and withe the violence from the mexican drug cartels spilling over the borders they may be open to it) doesn't intervene other states will follow when they see the money that can be made. I think it will start in the west and move east with not all states doing it. But I think the first laws will be passed within 5 years.
