Tens of millions Americans are still using tobacco despite the fact that it kills almost half a million Americans every year.
$300Billion /year spent of smoking related illnesses;?$170 Billion spent in US on smoking related illnesses annually via Medicare/Medicaid.?60% paid by taxpayers.
The FDA noted that school aged children were being target via vaping with 26.5% of high school users and 15.2% middle school users, 41 Million adults vaping world wide.
Now we are legalizing recreational use of marijuana.??To what cost?
All of this seems to be a means to increase taxes for our government....the same government that is supposed to be protecting our welfare.?SMH!???I guess the 40% not paid by taxpayers as it relates to smoking related illnesses is worth the spend for govt?
STOP the madness!
