Prop 86 under attack from Tobacco Profiteers
The tobacco profiteers have signs at many corner grocers against Prop 86 as Prop 86 will raise the taxes on tobacco, a great way to get children to never take up the habit. Most smokers start before age 18. The proposition is a great boost to the campaign to rid this society of tobacco without making it illegal, and improving the health of all of us....
