Well we simply must permit tobacco purchases with food stamps.

Support Native Americans with online tobacco purchases.

Hey Lady! How are you?

I would do what you suggest except that I live in NY state and they make you pay tax for online purchases. So I just decided to quit smoking. I'm down to 3 a day.

Unfortunately when the SCHIP money well runs dry they’ll be needing to tax something else.

Wonder how folks will like a 2200% increase on the tax on a cheeseburger?

[Salamander]

Still smokin’!....;-D

Boy, NY is just *this* short of a gulag, isn’t it?

[DJ MacWoW]

At this point, if I could afford McDonald’s I’d probably care. As it is.............. We already know what’s coming and we can’t stop it. The idiot schlubs haven’t caught on yet. They will.

[nevergore]

Do they sell regular name brand cigarettes? Do you have a link?

Yeah it is. Democrat havens always are.

Fortunately I can’t stand most fast food and so far they don’t tax unprepared food here in Michigan.

Thank's Obama!!:-))

[Salamander]

They sell *everything* but Wind Dancers have NO artificial ingredients or additives.

Google Wind Dancer cigarettes and you’ll get a slew of links.

I’ll post a bunch when I get back.

Gotta got to FedEx right now.

I can see it coming. Along with manufactured shortages.

Ann Arbor resident Erin Farmer, who bought a $7.50 pack of Marlboros at Main Party Store, said that while she's upset about higher cigarette prices, the tax may be a blessing in disguise.

"It sucks, but it's good encouragement to quit," she said. "Hopefully, it will encourage other people to quit."

See how easily these sheeple rationalize submitting to Big Brother? Not even a moment's thought about losing the liberty to take responsibility for her own actions.

[cripplecreek]

Well it is Ann Arbor. Lots more of the same in the comments.

There was an article a few days ago about a New Hampshire woman getting hit with a big tax bill on the cigarettes she had bought from an upstate NY Indian res. They sent NH the info so if you know of an Indian res that doesn't do that don't reveal it publically.

I expected that a lot of people would first learn of the tax hike after it went into effect and would be very mad about it. I didn't know if any media outlets would cover their outrage though.

A $25 tax increase on a $12-$20 bag of tobacco is going to really chap some hides. Most people who have turned to rolling their own did so because of the cost. Hopefully not all of the 0bamabots will feel so complacent about it.
