That's sad. And the Government says we have to pay about 400% taxes because 2nd hand smoke is dangerous. Second hand drinking causes instant Death in a lot of cases ... yet Booze is kept artificially low priced and not affected by inflation. So the message our Gov. is sending out is that it's "Good" to drink and they'll forced small business like me to subsidize liquor. Why???
So they can let you drown your sorrows because of all the smoking bans, rules, taxes, fines, etc.???
$400 fines for smokers (if there's a <17 year old in the car), and how much do drunken drivers pay? ***???
$50 fine for smoking ***, but $180-$400+ for cigarettes???
This means that the Gov leaders promote drinking and drugs, but cigarettes are REALLY EVIL? Government focus should be blamed for this misdirection BC leads the way against smokers and writing other BS laws that are meaningless while ignoring/denying the real problems (DD, alcoholism and drug addiction. Instead of using our resources to collect extra taxes, quadruple the cost of liquor so that it maintains it's spot in the economy, instead of being the cheapest entertainment available.
Sorry for your loss.
