Do you think they ever made up?
BERLIN (Reuters) - A virulent anti-smoker in Germany was so angry when his girlfriend lit up he emptied a fire extinguisher to put out the cigarette, caking her and their apartment in powder.
"My colleagues said it looked like a bomb had gone off in there," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Bielefeld. "He managed to put the cigarette out though."
After the woman ignored his request not to smoke, the 42-year-old sprayed the contents of the extinguisher all around the flat shouting abuse, police said.
"He said he wasn't bothered by the damage it caused," the spokesman said. "And that he's through with his girlfriend."

If all the smokers stopped smoking, the loss of taxes would be monumental....all smokers should stop for a little while to deprive them of the taxes...then what?

This is absolutely nonsensical. Smokers already pay a tax when they buy cigarettes. Unhealthy as smoking is, it is still legal and smokers shouldn't be discriminated against. How about taxing people eating junk food? Or people drinking alcohol extra? I heard that in the Arab Emirates you need a licence with a photo to buy alcohol
NB I'm not saying this because I a a smoker. I'm what we here call "a recycled virgin" i.e. I quit smoking a while ago.
