From an emailed press releas:

Brooklyn, NY) Senator Parker has introduced a bill (S.2981) that would raise the price of cigarettes from an average of $10 a pack to an average cost of $11.65 a pack. The expected earnings of this increase will be $191 million dollars, this doesn’t include the immeasurable societal health benefits. Under Senator Parker’s legislation the money from the cigarette tax will not be used to balance the budget. Instead he has created a dedicated fund to be used for smoking cessation and prevention programs for adults, teenagers and youth.

You know, that's quite lovely, caring and involved, for want of a better word. But if Senator Parker really wants to make this world a better place, maybe he should start with some anger management classes, so he doesn't completely lose it when someone tries to take a picture of him.
