There is a song by Aretha Franklin titled "Think," which includes the following line: "You better think, think about what you're trying to do to me." I want to dedicate this song to the governing body of North Carolina.
It seems that they are determined to place a heavy tax on cigarettes.
I don't wish to condone smoking, for I believe it is harmful to one's health.
On the other hand, if these industries decide to move offshore, taking at least a quarter of a million jobs with them, it's enough to be concerned.

Funny, man! I've been thinking the exact same thing every time I've heard that song in the last several months.

And once they have taxed all the smokers into becoming non-smokers, who will be next to make up all the lost revenue from tobacco taxes once tobacco is gone.

Alcohol maufacturers and gun manufacturers come to mind.
