I think the US government should make up their fucking mind. There needs to be a clear line drawn on what harmful substances are legal and which are not. As long as cigarettes are legal, the government has no right to specifically tax the shit out of them. Also, it's also ridiculous that the government decides that cigarettes are legal but pot is not, pot doesn't have any detrimental health effects and the long term mental effects don't hold a candle to the side effects of tobacco. Neither of them are good but it's plain hypocrisy to allow one and not the other, as well as to make one legal but tax it to the point of being unaffordable to the people who are already addicted.
