I am tired of you telling me what a 'sin' is... Your methodology is generally the same each time -- throw a tax on something you personally don't like, and throw the proceeds to the 'children'. It's always for those poor children...at first. Then, as the tax is in place for awhile, it is used for all sorts of things other than children.

You try to set yourselves up as protectors of children -- let's tax those horrible smokers and use the money to give free healthcare to children. But as noble as that might seem, it is blatantly unfair. It is not the job of smokers to pay for children. If it is a responsibility for society to pay for children's healthcare, then it is the responsibility for ALL in society -- not just the smokers.
