How prices drop

Congratulations to the president for recommending increasing cigarette pack
prices by $1.50. If this program is as successful as the drug war, which
took cocaine prices from $50 a gram to $5 a gram, cut heroin prices in half
and made drugs available to every elementary school in the nation, this
action means that cigarette prices will go down as the black market (free
enterprise) takes over.

Of course, you won't be able to choose what brands, and you won't know
exactly what's in them why, they might even contain marijuana but who
cares if the price goes back down to 30 cents a pack?
