Smoke Break

Whenever I stop by my favorite, local tobacconist’s shop, I usually spend a few moments talking with the proprietor about the most recent foolishness foisted upon us by the government.  The proprietor is a veritable fountain of facts in regards to smoking issues, and today he pointed me to a website called MySmokersRights.com. The website was set up by R.J. Reynolds, and on the homepage is a handy dandy clickable map of the U.S. which allows you to click on your home state and find tidbits of information related to the world of smoking.

For example, in my state, Michigan, I was made aware that 66.7 six packs of beer must be sold to generate the same of amount of stolen revenue as 1 carton of smokes.  While in the state of New York, 197.6 six packs must be sold to equal the stolen revenue from one carton of smokes.  Poor New Yorkers.  Each state link also has breakdowns of smokers’ incomes, among other hard facts, for your perusal.  Interesting site.
