Big surprise. Smokers are the target.
If any other group was tax-targeted in this way, lawsuits would abound.
To illustrate the ludicrous continuous taxing of personal behavior, I offer this: Smoking both affects my voice, and it calms me down, which could cause me to say something I’d regret in times of stress in a shrill voice. Therefore, since excessive tobacco taxes will cause me to pay more for this therapy, my freedom of speech rights, as outlined by the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, are being violated, because I am being prevented from speaking how I choose.
Lame lawsuit? Lame law (yet again).
