They aren't contradictory at all... in fact, they support each other. This is a democracy, most people DO NOT smoke (your info is wrong on that one). What would happen if the $38b of tobacco-related revenue was removed? Simple; people would spend their money on other things. Money just doesn't dissapear, it flows... it would just flow elsewhere. And no, the south isn't all tobacco-farmers you stupid ass... tobacco-producing regions are more in NC and VA.
Besides, nobody likes smelly hair/clothes, yellow teeth and a hole in their pocket... its just trashy.

You ignorant fuck. Perhaps if you looked at the link you would have seen this

"Some 130,000 U.S. farms grow tobacco, primarily in the southern states, and for many growers it constitutes their primary cash crop. The U.S. Department of Agriculture includes tobacco in its price support system, both because of its economic significance to the South--it is the seventh-largest U.S. cash crop--and because for many years it has been an important export commodity. American cigarette manufacturers also play a major part in the U.S. economy, earning millions from their domestic and their foreign sales"

What that says to me is that they are making a lot of fucking money and where does that money go? ECONOMY
Democracy means that the voters (american citizens) have power. When 80% (give or take) of american citizens smoke you really think they would pass anti-smoking laws? It seems that you are arguing because you are fucking delusioned. Honestly you dumb shit you think that an economy in a state like our could survive a 40 billion pull out? NO our economy would not flow. it would collapse because American dollars are going to foreign companys for the tabacco they supply.

Check it again ass fuck my data is correct you choose to ignore the facts. As far as cleaner air? Yea restraunt air will be cleaner. But unless you live in a bubble your retarded ass has to go back outside where....smokers are. Your argument is moot. You still havent tried to justify banning smoking. Because well you cant. Next time you sit at your computer I want you to go here and then think if your post will ever help anyone
