The state is a mess and going broke and this somehow helps the situation?
I’ve heard these cigar bars in Boston each roughly pay about 300,000.00 a year in state taxes. So, lets toss out their tax revenue and put these people out of work. madness.
It is madness. More 'let them eat cake' leftie elitism. I'm guessing if Teddy and Kerry and Bahney want to enjoy a fine cigar with their scotch, they simply go to their favorite place and have at it, this proposed law will affect them little, there'll be some loophole for them. And the little people - they can just quit smoking. And when they lose that tax revenue from the bars, they'll just raise the taxes for everyone else.
