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.

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!!!!

This state has taken enough from it citizens.

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

Are you Fing kidding?

Exactly! This awful man should never be allowed to own animals for the rest of his life! Once an abuser, always an abuser. No matter that he is a vet. It doesn't excuse this abusive behavior, especially over tiny dogs!

Lisa York

I don't think he should get his dogs back until a psych eval is done and he's deemed ok to own an animal. I also think that your reporter's continued hounding of him for an interview after he clearly declined was appropriate or professional.
