got to love it,"it ain't me so screw you.Guess what?,when this tax increase doesn't generate enough money "for the children's" health care scheme,you'll be hit too for more money somehow someway.Think that they will just end a program or admit failure to that which is "free" and "for the children" ?

I read recently that Marlboro hiked their prices $1/pack, so if it's Marlboro, that's most likely it.

Even if I smoked more I wouldnt care. I know that by smoking a lot I'm pretty likely to get some kind of disease from it & drive up health care costs because of something Im personally choosing to do that I know for a fact is terrible for my health.

Sorry, but IMO it's the people who dont wanna pay up for their smoking habit who are the jackasses who only care about themselves. Spin it all you want, bro. Thats the truth.

I'm a smoker and I think the tax increase is going to the right thing - healthcare.

You don't need cigarettes to live... it's a luxury item.

The same could be said for coffee,soda and alchohol drinkers,candy and fast food eaters.....

You do understand that they will mismanage funds and hit up the American people even more to make up for it right?

I knew if we lived long enough we would find something we could agree on....
If $60 a carton isn't enough to get one to quit, there is no hope for that person...
I hope smokers also remember to average in the cost of health care in that per carton price...

Cigarettes will soon be more expensive than weed.
