I agree with this, though I'd rather have the regions take action on a regional issue like this.

King's point is a reason that we should make taxes high. It's easy money that is taken in taxes only by people who chose to buy the product. 99% will not stop buying cigarettes, so why not tax it alot.

Either way, the Southeast already has passed taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana.  The relevent initiative is here

Harry, on this topic, I'd love to work with you to get these ideas passed in the Southeast. Passing them on a federal level isn't what is needed at this time.

Smoking is a choice so only you can decide to continue paying out the ear for cigarettes.

Obviously it is, that's why I don't support banning smoking in private restaurants.
