Blowing Smoke

Some people are unhappy that federal prosecutors are "only" asking for $10 billion (billion with a "B") from the tobacco industry to spend on programs to end smoking. They smell sellout. They want $130 billion dollars for these programs.

I have a suggestion. How about spending zero dollars, since I think everyone's already caught on that cigarettes are bad. If people want to stop and need help, they can pay for the privilege with the money they save not buying death sticks.
