@nytimes Obvious question: why not stop at all cigarettes???
@TBAaron90 @nytimes Because you should have the choice what’s next alcohol and fast food
@TBAaron90 @nytimes Tax money every pack of cigarettes sold the government gets 1.01 in tax revenue. That money goes to healthcare and education.
@TBAaron90 @nytimes Let's make a trade: when the government gives us all healthcare and makes it free at the point of service, they can ban cigarettes. Until then, it's no business if an insurance company gouges someone for their love of menthols.
@TBAaron90 Why not ban video games too? They waste hours of young peoples time, use tons of electricity and require precious computer hardware - all for no benefit
