For all you people who think smokers cost the state a fortune in Medicare bills. Here's a novel idea. Why not take the $177 million raised by cigarette taxes annually in New Hampshire and dedicate it only for health care of smokers not covered by insurance. Would that stop your argument? Not advocating smoking but there are two sides to every story.

I second the motion for a kid's free zone in every restaurant. Maybe we can get that passed next after they get done with the smoke free areas and more decals on our boats.
