Cigarette tax ALREADY went up so is this an additional tax?
Generic cigarettes are the new popular brand.

I was already smoking generic years ago. Then I switched to roll your own loose tobacco. The price on that more than doubled with the new tax to over $50 for a 16 oz bag.

Once again, Zero and his minions can't help themselves. They've never seen a tax they thought was too low. Any one of these alternatives is horrendous. Taxing cigs an additional $2 a pack, on top of the recent increase, is not going to do it because in my opinion you will have reached a tipping point where you're going to find a lot of folks quitting. Taxing health insurance benefits will also cause some to decline coverage at work because of the additional cost involved.
So there you have it. Welcome to the world of Obama.
