raise the taxes on those ciggys, and the demand falls. who’d a thunk that? certainly not the dimbulb congress critters.
So they’ll prolly raise the tax again to try to make up the shortfall.

“7-Eleven Inc. CEO Joe DePinto says that customers are buying fewer six- and 12-packs of beer, choosing instead the better value 18-packs. Stores are making room in cold cases for the bigger packs...Since the 62-cent federal excise tax went into effect April 1, many pack-a-day customers have become pack-every-three-day customers”
Back in college, I had an apartment across the street from a liquor store that would sell you beer by the individual can and also a single cigarette. As you can imagine, the place was quite popular with the local bum and wino population.

Ummm..., they would all save a lot more money if they *cut out* the beer and cigarettes in the first place... LOL...
But, then, 7-Eleven wouldn’t like it...

Finally, customers are trading expensive energy drinks and waters for Mountain Dew. The soft drink apparently provides the biggest buzz for a buck. It's moved up a couple of notches to the No. 3 soft drink at 7-Eleven.LOL!!
