I consider you a waste of matter, so don't expect this to turn into a discourse. This is a one time only set of answers I offer you on this topic.

"What political purposes do cigarettes have?"

They are heavily taxed - it could be argued unConstitutionally-, and as our Forefathers so eloquently stated in the Federalist Papers, taxes serve a political purpose.

"And were you suggesting that the government doesn't help pay for stadiums?"

The Government pays subsidies to tobacco farmers also, that does not make smoking tobacco a Federal product.

"Who are these rich people being attracted by stadiums? And why? And how?"

Apparently you were not aware that some of our nations most affluent attend live sports event, like Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee for instance. Even without them you have organizations like the PBFA - Professional Baseball Fans Association - comprised of those whom, while not as rich as Mr Nicholson, are still wealthy enough to purchase season tickets and memorabelia as well as throw down seven dollars for watered down beer, let alone the average income suburbanite's who fill the majority of seats. Why and how are questions so simply answered I will leave them to you.
