I think of it as an additional luxury tax, and feel it's justified to help pay health costs from smoking. I guess if you were a huge smoker it would be very costly, but for the occasional smokers, it's not that bad.

It's the one and ONLY tax increase I support.
-
I don't smoke, but I think sin taxes are a sin. Taxes should evenly apply to all at a given income level, or to all who use a service that requires money for maintenance -- as in fuel taxes for maintaining highways.

sure why not

I think it's bullshit!

It made my fiance' quit today, I think people might start drinking more now however, a 6 pack is cheaper than a pack of cigarettes now here. Also eating more junk food usually comes into play, one bad habit traded for another.

I think it should be taxed $10 a pack,and maybe people could not afford to smoke them things.

I think they should be taxed $15 a pack and maybe people would figure it is a good time to quite and get healthy.

First step in decreasing demand!!

I use to smoke so Im not being biased here..I think cigarettes should be very expensive infact I think they should be banned...but hey..if people want to kill themselves thats up to them..Cigarettes are a drug and should be treated as heroin or cocaine in my opinion!!

More money to be spent on useless overpriced stuff for the population.

+5. Where does King Kong sleep? Anywhere he wants too. It is the same with taxes. Why do they raise them, because they can
-
I think that taxing a minority is wrong on all levels. Besides the high taxes on cigs has created a black market for stolen cigarettes.
-
its not going to stop anyone from smoking. at first theyll be pissed. then say theyre quitting. then start smoking the cheaper kind. then just say fuck it and go back to normal. but get really pissed when someone mentions how much they cost. haha. true story on multiple accounts :D

I would support the increase hoping it reduces the level of cigarette addiction. This may give non-somkers like me a better fighting chance to breathe free. I am not too optimistic because of the hardcore addiction. For them it would be whatever the cost!
