Meanwhile, a number of House Democrats say the increase unfairly affects low-income adults who might have a more difficult time quitting smoking and being able to afford smoking cessation aids.

Isn't it nice to see the Democrats having feelings for the poor. "Might not be able to afford smoking cessation aids". This takes the cake. If they stop smoking they would have plenty of money to afford the aids. Not that I support the tax increase, which I don't, but once again logic is totally lacking in the Democratic Party.

You are right. A weeks supply of patches for about $23 - Which by the way, are not to be sold to minors. Does that make any sense?

Let's see now, a 17 year old girl can get an abortion on her own but if she wants to buy nicotine patches to quit smoking she has to get an adult to buy them for her.
