If they were really concerned about the economic impact on the poor people, they'd eliminate the taxes on the cigarettes.

I have heard, and I believe it to be true, that all but about 20 cents a pack of the cost of cigarettes is state and Federal tax...

No, they would still be making the decision for themselves then. We can't have that. The nanny state knows better.

They thought they were being smart by raising taxes on cigarettes so high to balance the budget on the backs of the smokers.......well, let me tell you this: the smokers have gone elsewhere for cheaper cigarettes, plus many smokers are rolling their own to get out from under the disgusting cigarette taxes in the state.
They just don't get it! Most people who smoke totally enjoy it. And it's LEGAL!
