Ook het Amerikaanse congres voerde een onderzoek uit naar de kosten van roken voor de samenleving. Ook zij kwamen tot de conclusie dat rokers de samenleving niets kosten. Hieronder het gehele rapport (Initieel commentaar door Forces International):
Here is another report from The US Library of Congress. This one proves conclusively that smokers pay their fair share for their choice, contrary to the false information and propaganda from government and antismokers organizations.However, we object to one point made in this report.

While FORCES does not disagree with the dissemination of true information on smoking, we most certainly object to the reference in this report on how education might be funded by U.S. states according to the model of California’s Proposition 99. Proposition 99 is immoral and regressive and should not be used anywhere, since it has been twisted and abused to force smokers to pay for hate propaganda, and intolerance tactics. Read all about California’s Proposition 99 in an article by Thomas J. DiLorenzo. (California’s Proposition 99: Pork Barrel for Anti-Smoking Groups).
