Texas has raised the "sin" tax on tobacco products twice in the past 4 years to "cover health related issues associated with tobacco" because tobacco drives up the cost of health care. Wonder why health care hasn't gone down and where that tax money is? Obesity causes more health problems and health care cost to sore even more than tobacco products. Guess we need a "sin tax" on food when obese people buy groceries too. Just put a scale and hight measurment device at every check out counter.
