um ... Tadow ... they don't.
at an average of $5 tax per packet, we're more than paying for it ourselves.
in fact, when I'm dying of lung cancer, I intend to milk every cent from the health care system I can. I've paid for it.

Lung cancer treatment is expensive , especially when you can't be insured anymore because of a pre-existing condition, that $$ either comes out of your pocket or (more likely) comes out of medicare. at ... ohhhh..... $100,000 on the cheap side, that's 20,000 packs of smokes you'd have to consume (SINCE the cig tax has been raised to $5), even at a pack a day ... that's 55 years of smoking.
