They were being criticized for the cost of expanding SCHIP, so they came up with a tax to which no one could strenuously object. And SCHIP isn't really about children anyway. It's a Trojan horse for socialized medicine. The cig tax is (forgive me for this) a smoke screen.

Why in the world should a smoker have to pay for some other person's children? I do not smoke but find it ethically wrong. Glad to find your info on the web.

But so far they are just "expanding" SCHIP and not demanding children be put on it. Thankgoodness. This is what they did with Medicare!
