SMOKERS HAVE THEIR THONGS IN A WAD 

By Neal Boortz

The single largest federal tax on tobacco is taking effect this week. Wednesday to be exact. And I couldn't be more thrilled. The cost of cigarettes has apparently already risen in order to offset and drop in profits because the per-pack tax will climb from 39 cents to $1.01. And it's not just cigarettes. Other tobacco products will see tax increases as well.

Just in case you didn't know .. one out of every five adults is ignorant enough to smoke cigarettes. These disgusting, full of self-hatred smokers cost our economy $193 billion a year in medical expenses and lost time at work.
