The federal government is not progressive. Their recent proâ€" sal to reduce cigarette smuggling ; slashing taxes looks like colluâ€" n with the tobacco companies many reasons: j 1; The federal strategy paper guing for the cut in taxes admits it will mean an increase in sales and profits for cigarette manufacâ€" turers. 2.

This loss of cigarette tax dollars means our taxes will increase to cover the health costs of smokers who insist on killing themselves.

Let the jobs go. We don‘t supâ€" port jobs in the fraud industry, or the robbery industry, or the pornography industry â€" we have laws against that kind of behavior. Just because someone can make money from an activity doesn‘t mean they have a right to do so. Just because there are jobs involved doesn‘t mean we should encourage a tobacco industry whose product kills people. Is it possible we could make a decision based on something other than money? The only compromise which reasonable people might swallow is if (1) tobacco companies were required to rebate all the increased profits from the tax cut to law enforcement; (2) generic, black and white cigarette packaging is introduced; and (3) purchasers of cigarettes signed a binding waiver which stated they would personally pay 100% of any health costs incurred as a result of smoking. Then, the government could legitiâ€" mately say they were trying to end the smuggling without aiding and abetting the cigarette industry and driving up health care costs in the process.
