I am in favor of this but I know it will be a big financial hit to my parents who are lifelong smokers. Dad smokes 2 packs a day and I don't think he's been more than 3 hours without a cigg since 1965. He only sleeps an hour or two at a time because he can't go that long without coughing.

If my dad smoked Marlbrough he'd probably have enough points for a goddamn Marlbrough F-1 car by now. But he smokes "Doral" and they don't give you anything (except cancer).

But hopefully it will be enough to encourage them to stop smoking. Its doubtful though, they will probably just spend find a way to pony up the extra dough for smokes.
