Good.
tax cig's cigars etc 10.00 a pack. more revenue. the state doesn't deem something like that unsafe, the medical profession does.
tax fast food 1.00/order, less obesity maybe?
Maybe drop smokers from insurance? I know many Police and Fire departments are already doing that, and many companies are 'encouraging' people to quit, why? because then people are healthier and costs are LOWER to the companies.
What else does the state attack through taxation? Please be specific that you think is healthy and they think unhealthy.
