Frankly as far as I'm concerned, if you collect welfare it should be ILLEGAL for you to purchase tobacco, alcohol, tattoos, candy, soda, fast food, or ANYTHING not required to keep you alive and functioning with ANY money you posses. For that matter it should be illegal for you to shop in any store, you should be required to pick up your free food from a government run warehouse and eat it back at the government run barracks you live at.

If you can afford smokes, beer, tats, etc you don't need the government's help.
