You could write a letter to your congressman.  Short of that, I don't know what to tell you.

The people as a whole can solve this problem by using as little gas as possible until prices go down.  Take public transportation, walk or bike whenever possible.  Car pool to and from work or school.  Find things to do at home on the weekends instead of going out.  These ideas have been repeated for years I know, but they are as true now as they were 20 years ago.\n\nIf we reduce our use of gas enough than the Oil companies will be forced to lower their prices.\n\nRelying on the government to "fix" economic problems makes the economy worse rather than better and that is true under any president or any congress.

After a settlement with tobacco companies a few years back, the sliding-scale clinics went down in price.  They said that the reduction was due to the tobacco settlement monies.\n\nYes, though, I think some monies should go directly to lung and throat cancer, emphazima, heart conditions, premature baby care, and the preventative measures you mentioned.

You know its time for a change.  You can't just change this habit.  Its about how you are going to deal with the stress that comes up in your life.  You got to face your problems without running to some instant fix.  *the cigarette*  \n\nSecond, you got to take a proven route.  Look up Smoker annoyomous in your area.  Take the patch or gum.  You need someone that will support you in your tough times.  Maybe someone who also stopped.   When your tempted, remind yourself about the things  you hate about smoking.  So expensive.  The bad lungs.  Whatever reason you want to stop.  Remember it when your tempted

If you smoke then stop, drink too. Cut down on nights out and clothes and go to cheaper shops like Lidl and you should save !!!

They killed my father. Small cell lung cancer.\nThe government gave them away during WWII.\nIt really promoted them and caused a generation of addicted people.\n\nHowever, you will create smugglers that are not taxed and increase the overloaded court system if you make them illegal. I think that taxation and insurance incentives may be a better way to discourage smoking. Fining smokers for smoking in public places has started and I am sure that more can be done.\n\nI think that loosing the Tax revenues and making this industry go underground would not stop it but make battling the problem more costly. I could be wrong and offer this only as another viewpoint after talking with some Dutchmen about similar issues in their country.\n\nAlso, I do not think that Police will give much priority to laws against smoking cigerettes when they are already overloaded with meth addicts, etc. and understaffed. My cousin is a NARC.

Reduce pollutions is the answer, but a certain political party, and their lobbyist will fight you all the way. So I say there is no answer.

1) Because politicians are afraid voters will punish anyone who suggests more progressive and fair taxes;\n2) Because smoking is bad for you and others, and there is no right to smoke at a cheap price.

Because they are just like drug pushers.They don't REALLY want people to stop smoking. They just use that phrase "discourage use"  as an excuse so they can keep raising the taxes. If they REALLY wanted people to quit, they would ban cigarettes. But, if they did that, then who else could they stick with the outrageous taxes? They aren't fooling anybody.

I realize this may seem non-responsive, but I would not recommend it.  The trend is away from smoking, due to well-established health risks.  I realize there are still customers out there, but the already established smoke shops are struggling to keep them, and a new shop would not do well.  And your customer base would (I hope!) continue to shrink, as people wise up to the fact that smoking is simply not good for them.\n\nInvest your money elsewhere.

Tell them to stop polluting.\n\nNo in all seriousness it's not the individual you should be targeting but society as a whole. Government could introduce initiatives and legislation to order cut backs on greenhouse emissions and encourage recycling and renewable energy sources.\n\nBig companies are a big problem. Historically they haven't given a damn about the environment - they're just after profits so new technology and methods is essential in order for them to cut back.\n\nHefty fines should be implemented unto those who refuse to go "greener" when ordered, both individuals and companies. But this woon't happen just yet. For the time being e-mail your local council with some ideas and encourage others to be more considerate to the environment.
