Tho it doesn't deter those from buying. Wish tobacco sales would just go away. That would solve many medical issues. And create lower insurance costs.

Only, ONLY, as long as that revenue went to preventative education and healthcare.

Absolutely! It would deter tobacco use and would also spread the tax burden to another population besides home owners.

I guess the government want's to rip as much tax as possible before the smokers all die.

No it's not going to help, some people will just steal to get the money. They need something that will really help you to quit smoking. I've tried patches, gum, pills and nothing works.

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.
