Would you support a possible $2 hike in tobacco product taxes?

Question

Yes, deter sales!: 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. No, it's too much.: A $2 tax hike is egregious and unnecessary; there's no reason to add taxes to something that's already taxed.

Linda Nolin · Accepted Answer

No, it's too much.: 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.

Yes, deter sales!: 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.
