"goin', goin'... gone to Carolina in my mind". What if they made Carolina a "smokers'- paradise"- a state, where the old smokers could move to, and smoke, and be free ?
That is complete bullshit. Raising taxes doesn't do a damn thing. "funding Terrorits" The guy interviewing is a moron. Choice is up to the people not the government. Damn the government, I'll take care of myself
They will tax something else because they have a budget shortage... This shit never ends because if it's not smoking it'll be something else in the name of public safety or health.
To all you people against raising the tobacco tax and wanting the government to butt out:
-The laws are to protect our kids. Leave your vendetta at home.
-Keep buying your cigs, if you want, no one's stopping you. Just pay more, to make up for the Medicare you will be using when you get sick.
-Actually, irresponsible people, like you, are the reason the government has to create more laws that control people.
-Oh, and the statistic is CORRECT: #1 cause of death: tobacco. Do your research.

PLEASE READ-
in mass,it costs $73 4a carton of generic smokes
in nh,it costs $43-a difrence of $30 state tax
BUT,it costs the EXACT SAME 4 hand rolled tobacco-$25 a carton[6oz]-think about it-it's less than the mass cig tax in
mass!!!![no tax on loose tobacco]
i wonder when people will figure it out

It is not an effective deterrent! Just make tobacco illegal if it is so bad...but you can't because you would have to increase tax on something else.

All kinds of tax should have a purpose not lame excuses. Military tax for the military, road tax for the road etc
Things like income tax for the income really represent a most delusional kind of insanity.
Things like not smoking in public buildings or lower the nicotine content every year. That helps the smoker stop smoking,
Insane-tax is not going to prevent people from going insane; "oh, I better start acting normal it's costing me a lot of money."
duh?
