I’m sure they’re heavily taxed too, which makes the government addicted to the revenue.
The dirty little secret in this country is the taxes collected on tobacco, which they say is to defray the cost of treating smoking related illnesses, are mostly diverted for general spending.
Years ago the states sued the tobacco companies to “recover” health expenditures. Each state received several billion dollars. Audits later showed that the state of Missouri only spent 6 hundred thousand dollars on health initiatives, while the rest of their 2 billion settlement went to general revenue. That was just one example. I'm sure most states did the same.
The hypocrites can’t afford to have anyone quit smoking.

Sure would like to have that setup for all the morons who insist on tailgating at 70 mph. Honestly, some are so close their grill isn’t visible in my rear view mirror.

It’s a variation on an old joke that predates A&C. Scroll to History:

Buds = 5 each
Person = 5
Watch = 2 each
last line:
5 + (10+5+2) x 2 = 44

It's less math, more observation.
earbuds = 10 per pair
person = 5 each
watch = 4 per pair
So -- last line:
1 earbud = 5
1 watch = 2
1 person = 5BUT WAIT! The person in the final line is wearing a pair of earbuds AND a watch!
Therefore, person with pair of earbuds and a watch = 17
Therefore, final equation is 5 + 17 X 2
Order of ops with no parentheses, brackets, or exponents is multiply and divide left to right, then add and subtract left to right
So
5 + 34
39
Edited, because I noticed the person is also wearing a watch. Such fun
Sum of yous guys iz smart! I ar not…
Fun brain teaser!

Because even after the house is washed away, the owner still has to pay back the loan. Unless they’re part of a disenfranchised minority. Then the government picks up the tab.
Lots of other scenarios here that all end with the government picking up the tab. Maybe it’s the insurance companies, who pass the cost on to their customers. And when they can't, the government picks up the tab...

That's a nice looking car for the era. I wonder how many could afford to buy one?
