A lot of states that pulled this crap with soaking the smokers are going to lose more revenue than they gain. The black market in cigarettes that will develope will see to that. Buy your smokes online and cut the greedy state out of the entire process. Make sure that they not only lose the extra 50 cents that they want to add to every pack, but also the 75 cents that they are currently getting from you.
