I fail to see the excitement level over this "down the road " ban We have 30,000 tobacco related deaths annually (at least a hundred times more than Asbestos) and yet no ban is in site. Instead we spend taxpayers money on advertising and promotions to get people to quit. The revenue coming in on tobacco does not begin to cover the medical costs of all the tobacco related deceases. When will a ban for actual benefits come into play? What seems to be the delay in making this common sense decision?
