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.

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!!!!

When works available I work! Learned good work ethics from hard working parents! Plus, I'm a benefit to the company and am rewarded double time instead of vacation time per hour worked.
