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.

John Philo

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

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.

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 !!

Mary Jo

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

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
