Taxing these products creates important revenue for state use, but more importantly deters some sales. This is vital to maintaining a healthy community, as tobacco products are proven to cause cancer and other health issues. Show Less

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.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

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

Ka San

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.

A $2 tax hike is egregious and unnecessary; there's no reason to add taxes to something that's already taxed.

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.

Brandy Barr

NO, THIS IS GOING TO HURT LOW INCOME PEOPLE THAT SMOKE AND DO NOT WANT TO QUIT!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PUSH YOUR AGENDA OF TRYING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO DO JUST WHAT YOU WANT! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TOO!!!!

Pennie Day Holiday

This state has taken enough from it citizens.

Jason Bement

I think there's plenty of other things to tax like alcohol

Ken Deuser

Taxmageddon Fiends !!

This will equate to a TWENTY DOLLAR hike on a carton...absolutely LUDICROUS. Start taxing the boozers, too!

As long as there are no new costs to homeowners. Increase other taxes that everyone shares...gas, alcohol, cigarettes, whatever. Just don't even think about trying to bleed more $$ from homeowners!

Latterdaysaint

Eliminate the gas tax!

DENNIS DOHERTY

We live in Sisters. We would not be able to get over the pass to get to Portland in the winter without ODOT. This is irresponsible and dangerous!

Essential employees like that should not be laid off! We need them to keep the people on the highway safe.
