I wonder how many tax dollars are raised from smokers?

A lot. In 2009 the tax on loose cigarette tobacco went up by 2300%. I have to wonder what other products could face that kind of tax hike with barely a whimper?
I don't think you can touch a pack of cigarettes these days for less than $6 or $7 (some states far more) and its mostly tax.

I wonder how many tax dollars are raised from smokers? Not too many from me. I don't buy the nasty commercial product.
But I can look up and slightly to the left at the sun-shelf where 3 flats of tobacco seeds are recently started and expected to be planted after the last frost. ;)
I will not submit. Tobacco is a plant that can grow almost anywhere.

To the best of my recollection the tax revenues from smokers far outweighs any drag they have on the system from their “unhealthy choice”. Last I heard it was at least double what the supposed health costs are...
