“...Obama has increased cigarette carton prices by more than $10 - about 75 cents a pack...”

GREAT math.

Ten packs of cigarettes per carton.

Increase of more than $10.00 per carton.

Let's see:

$10.00(more than) divided by 10 = $0.75.

But the tax plan will WORK!

Valit point but don' forget. they charge sales tax when you make the final purchase.

You pay tax on tax, isn't it wonderful?

Yes, the math is a little off, but the article was probably written by a journalism school graduate.
