"But the majority of them will shrug their shoulders and pay the tax."

HaHa! That’s funny!

The hike is part of lawmakers' efforts to find a politically palatable solution to close a looming $23.6 billion gap in the state budget for the fiscal year that started July 1.

Aren’t the California smokers just a little tired of carrying the whole state on their backs?

and the increases are expected to cost smokers an additional $2.2 billion a year.

Wanna bet? If the California smoker is smart, he won’t HAVE to pay into the state coffers anymore!

Or they can quit smoking

LOL! Oh! Really!

Check the stats, the majority will continue to pay. Less than 5% roll or use internet/out of state sources. Why do the minorities continue to support the Lefists?
