Horror! Smokers Will Have to Quit on Their Own!
State budget cuts and the failure to raise the state cigarette tax means S.C. smokers trying to quit the habit will get no help from the state next year.
Oh boo-hoo-hoo. I smoked for 12 years and when I finally decided I didn’t want to do it anymore guess how I quit. I just stopped. No help from the state’s anti-smoking program, no nicotene patch, no Welbutrin. I just stopped. The state shouldn’t be investing any tax dollars into these programs anyhow. Every smoker made the conscious decision to start. They can make the decision to stop. We don’t need to pay for it and the government doesn’t need to be our nanny.
