Hmmm ... one would have to think in 2011 that any Political Party would be nuts to accept donations from the Tobacco Industry.
Read recently ... over 300,000 hospital admissions per year due to smoking related illnesses/death.
Tobacco taxes raise (2006?) about $6.3billion (inc GST).
Direct and Social COSTS of Tobacco (2006?) $31,000,000,000.00 ($31billion).
To be on the right side of history however, am told I should be more concerned about the RIGHTS of users of tobacco !!!
Cheers ... tight stops. (cough, cough)
