Isn't it interesting that we need cigarette smokers to fund relief via taxes on cigarettes to health care costs. Does the money taken in really go to health care costs.

Cool blog by the way. My name is Peat, noticed you at Sekimori's site. I will visit again.

I suspect that either directly or indirectly the taxes will help the health care budget. Health care is probably overspent in NY, this should help a bit.
