steve, between you and me, don't you think that the tax increase on cigarettes may have back fired in Bloombergs face, so now he wants to pay back the smokers for not feeding his coffers?
I think the states are going to catch on and clamp down on public smoking. Because they are pouting over blowing up the tax increase and turning their cash cow away.
What do you think?
I think they're on a propaganda campaign to justify even more legislation and further tax increases. The increase in revenue isn't going to be as large as projected, so watch for the efforts on internet/reservation sales to start when they get the sheep fired up enough.
I wonder how long before childrens services are taking kids from parents who smoke around them
