For year’s the tobacco and alcohol industry has been providing jobs for US citizens and many countries outside the US.  For every teenager that’s picks up a cigarette the state government has a stake in that teenager.  It not only affects the consumer pocket but it also affects the retirement portfolio of millions of retired veterans and citizens of the United States and citizens of countries around the world.
