Why Should Smokers And Drinkers Be Singled Out !!

I am very satisfied that the President vetoed the Childrens Healthcare Bill. The bill would raise the cost of a pack of cigarettes 61 cents. Why does everytime someone draft a bill, they do it at the expense of smokers and drinkers?

I do not smoke or drink, but I don't like to see a single group of persons targeted. A person should not be scapegoated because they have a certain habit. If they have to raise taxes, then raise them, but don't break the backs of average law abiding citizens.
