Smoking Etiquette in a Smoke-free Society

I still have the "flaws" I had as a smoker and a drinker. Happily, all smoke/drink-related issues, i.e., stuff that ensued as a direct result of my addiction to nicotine and of active alcoholism, vanished for the obvious reason that these addictive disorders have long been arrested/halted.

Cigarette Taxes: Do They Cut Down on Smoking?

Cigarette taxes are often increased in an attempt to curb smoking rates. When I first thought about this approach, it seemed fraught with contradictions. After all, aren’t governments benefiting from smokers by raising cigarette taxes? When smokers quit smoking, how does the subsequent reduced revenue stream affect government programs paid...
