The Federal Excise Tax Increase ( FETI ) on tobacco products is the great white hype ( pun intended ), created by Democrats that they bank on ( literally ) will cover the costs.....purportedly.
The Dems are hoping smoker defiance will prevail; they DON'T want smokers to quit---they want the behemoth sized profits. In fact, these "anti-smoking" supporters of the FETI bill---along with their politicians, scrambled to cellphones and demaded their stock brokers BUY tobacco company shares!!!!
And IF they're right, this IS what America can expect:
Hospital ER stations nationwide can expect a 24 / 7 / 365 FLOOD of urban low income denziens--and their complete cultural description...with their multiples of urban kids, poised ready to burden the system---and ultimately prove the whole Utopic plan WILL FAIL cold. And the medical service quality? Think McMedicine---with the blessings of McPresident Obama.
The best approach to protest the FETI bill is to pinch the tobacco corporate profits HARD---and that means STOP buying their products; quit smoking and sit back and enjoy the infighting between Big Tobacco and the Democrats.
I say let McPresident Obama's devoutful supporters pick up smoking---may they puff and puff and puff hard and away IF they want the FETI bill to succeed.
I'm quitting smoking. I WILL NOT support and/or pay for some worthless lazy welfare cheat's medical care. I just pray enough fed up American smokers join me in this epic endeavor; it's long been time we smokers be heard. And if they won't listen to our protests----they'll listen resonately to PROFIT LOSSES!!!!

I'm calling him on his BS. Whenever he speaks, I have a BS alert ready, and it's been going off like crazy lately.
