As you all know, Jake Tapper is ABC News' ace political reporter. If there is a secret to be investigated, an international crisis to be dealt with, or  a scandal at hand, Jake Tapper will be there.

This is a note to never been smoker liberals or democrats who like to pontificate about how smoking is stinky, a rotten habit, and filled with health risks. Cut it out.
