How much is the tax on one cigarette in NY city?

89. What I know is that SOME people are harmed by many things that other people, a majority actually are

not harmed by.

The person I most loved was killed by an AUTOMOBILE. Cars are a dangerous threat to human life.

But I didn't run around trying to bully people into not driving, adults know the dangers of driving, they know the dangers of SUGAR and of Alcohol. If they choose to take the risk anyhow, if they choose to live on a Fast Food, Sugar infested diet eg, it isn't my business and I won't bully them by demanding LAWS to stop them from killing themselves, because this is supposed to be a free society. But there are people who do not LIKE the freedom others have to do things they have had a tragic experience with, or just don't like for whatever reason, and they are more of a threat to this society than all the risky behaviors people choose to engage in.

Since we are getting down to using emotional manipulation now, I also have a friend who is YOUNG but has lived on a diet of Sugar, Coke, Fast Foods, candy etc all her life. She has just been told that she is on the brink of diabetes.

The corrupt Sugar manufacturers have lied, paid millions to suppress the effects of sugar on the population for years. She knows it and now it's up to her but I would never, ever try to get laws passed to CRIMINALIZE her personal choices.

My credibility is just fine, I'm definitely not one bit worried about, never have been.

It is those who use fear and hyperbole to bully people with laws and rules against stuff THEY don't like whose credibility is increasingly being questioned.

Don't smoke if you don't want to. Don't eat sugar if you don't want to. Don't drink if you don't want to and DON'T place yourself in a position to tell other, grown, intelligent people what choices THEY ought to make.
