Thanks I never knew that. Your sure welcome. And a LOT of people aren't aware of what smokers in EACH state contribute. Yet, the lawmakers talk out of both sides of their mouths saying they want a "smoke free everything???!!!"
They are rediculous.

Sin taxes...
What do you want to bet they won't go after Big Beer?
In Oregon, a pack of cigarettes is almost $5.00 because
of state taxes, yet they won't touch the beer tax if their
lives depended on it. I guess Big Beer has a more powerful
lobby. Plus, it's more PC to raise cigarette taxes.
I don't think there is a government "alive" who could
survive without cigarette taxes, yet they treat smokers
like filth.
