Oh please. I’m no smoker and anybody can see that cigarette taxes are very punitive. The gov’t has created this black market w/ their punitive taxes on smokes.
Actually, there's only so far that they can go to hike cigarette taxes before it stops generating them cash. So then it becomes a question of what's next?
Looks like it will be hiking alcohol taxes. They'll start raising alcohol taxes until they can't do it anymore, too.
Then I suppose Drango will be calling anyone who complains about excessive alcohol taxes, "a drunk".
