Yes, if you can't cure cancer, legislate it and favor the charities and their programs.
Too much tax revenue comes from tobacco products for legislators to fight it; also, tobacco use is an individual's right and personal decision. That being said, anyone who uses tobacco now, knowing all the associated risks and the ridiculous price, need MENTAL health screening. I've never smoked / chewed, but don't force my opinion on those who do.
RI already has one of the highest State "sin taxes" on tobacco products; that money, of course, goes into the Slush...er, General Fund.
Besides there's way too much money in cancer; between medical care and "research", if there were a cure, only the ridiculously wealthy would have access to it.
