cigarettes are already one of the most taxed items. They now run about 7 to 9 bucks a pack--most of which is taxes.I went to rolling my own a while ago and it costs me less than a candy bar to do so,to roll a pack Tom A lot of that I think is state taxes Bog. Here a pack of generic brand can be had for $2.70 I quit smoking when a pack of my brand was around $3 give or take. I looked in the case this afternoon, $10.37 a pack. Good Lord. I didn’t bother looking at a can of Copenhagen. Even a mini Bic lighter is just over 3 bucks, I put a new one in my pocket before every winter. Owl

When I left NY in 2005, a pack of ciggs was about $7. That is if you didn't get them on the Rez. The Indian ciggs I smoked were $10.00/carton or $1/pack. When I moved to IL even the cheapest smokes were $4+/pack, so I started smoking black market ciggs. The I moved to MS and the cheapest ciggs here are $2.70 a pack which was only $.70 more than the black market ones so I switched back to legal ones, lol.

when they don't teach rational thought in schools, they'll never learn!
When will people learn it's their job to teach their kids? Contracting it out to the socialist government babysitter is not the best option if you want independent thought and critical thinking skills taught.but that's NOT the goal (even of parents)...they want "easy".

Tax the rich-leave us po folk alone. That never seems to work out the way they claim for some reason. I don't smoke but if it's legal and I'm guessing it is I may have to grow a few tobacco plants in the garden next year. But I know nothing about it or processing it.

They're creating a nice, lucrative black market. X 2 If everyone quit smoking today they would have to find something else to tax to make up for the short fall.

We really need something to make people quit using breath vapor products, and I was kinda on board about it being taxed till I found out how much it's taxed. So I don't know what would make people quit, because normal cigs just make everything around it smell bad. Plus half the people that use them just makes a mess with the butts and it's a little annoying. I know I may sound a little controlling but my grandma smoked as long as I could remember and she just past away last year because of it, and my grandpa is still with us who is 10 years older who lived with her. And don't get me wrong, some of the people that I enjoyed working with smoked too, it's just that it's a very unhealthy/poisoning thing to do.

There's more I would like to say/forgot to add that may be important but I hope it suffices.
