I was smoking. You were smoking what? A what a cigarette okay pre magenta a lovely 120

what's a cause for a pack smokes now oh you don't even want to know dude they used to almost

consider it like a luxury tax like on cigars in minnesota you'd go and they were, you know, 14 bucks at the store.

I can buy them online for five bucks.

You know, cigarettes, they won't let you because of the interstate tax.

So you can't buy them online.

I mean, so, and if you look at every pack of cigarettes, it's got a thing that says that you

paid taxes on this pack.

So it's kind of like your tabs for your car except for there for cigarettes, but what's

staggering is that we still have problems with health care in this state.

And I understand that smokers have long-term effects and blah, blah, blah, and they're a drain.

But just in taxes, we get almost a half a billion dollars,

just as our state in taxes on cigarettes alone a year, half a billion.

Think of what would happen if they legalize weed.

Yeah.

I mean, they would tax the fucking out of it.
