To the grossly overtaxed residents.
$5.85 is the tax on a pack of Maroboro's in New York bringing a pack to around $11-$14
The nationwide average price is 5.25 before taxes. When the government makes more on a product than the grower, manufacturer, distributor and retailer combined, Thats just out and out theft.
Plus how many millions go to police the sale of this LEGAL product.
I've never smoked, but this is tyranny, doing what it does best.
