how much you smoke in your home

To be fair, the estimator thing ask for "Daily household use", which I assume means the amount smoked by everyone in the household in a day, where ever it may be.

Virginians need to smoke more - your State needs you!

"My answer is none of your you know what business."

The polite way to say that these days is - None of your John F'ing Kerry business.

I was under the impression that those taxes were paid with the purchase of the tobacco.

He wants to show how his proposed cig tax increase (2.5 cents to 25 cents per pack) will affect your total tax picture.

There are plenty of ways to make it "zero" regardless of Mark Warner.

Yeah, that's right. But this is a calculator for how much you would pay in taxes under the current and proposed system. I think Warner is trying to hike tobacco taxes in his new package.

I'm sure you're correct - but if you don't think the state is keeping track of Virginian's that respond to this you are nuts.

The next gool of the anti-smokers is to ban smoking in private homes.
