The issue of government and smoking cessation is a JOKE. The state of RI wants you to stop smoking Like car thieves want you to put a Lo-Jack in your car. Where is the evidence of this? Right in this article. 4,25 per pack tax on cigarettes. If you stop smoking? The State loses money.
"Oh, but they Tax cigarettes to prevent people from buying them." Yeah , like the state puts signs for Gamblers Anonymous in Twin River too.
Eliminate the tax on cigarettes and we'll see how fast "The State of Corruption" will then make a serious attempt to stop people from smoking. When they have nothing to gain from it.
At least make an Iron clad law that ALL moneys from the taxes on cigarettes MUST go to smoking prevention and not be diverted to other usage . You know, like how the income from the lottery was supposed to go to education? and then maybe we'll believe The State of Rhode Island is serious about Prevention of smoking.
