From the statistics I have read, the smoker's predominate the lower income brackets.

Does that include cigars and pipes?

Although a small part of that too, there's something on the cruises that American cigar smokers can get legally that they can't in the US. Cuban Cigars.

Because smoking levels are highest among low-income Americans, the cigarette companies try to argue that cigarette tax increases are regressive taxes that fall disproportionately hard on those with lower incomes.

Admittedly, the site's source is very biased, but this confirms my statement. I'm sure you can find more sources that say the same thing. There are other statistical analysis that say things like beer are considered to be consumed by lower income people, than wines.

That is pure propaganda. There are plenty of smokers among the rich and famous, cigarettes as well as cigars.
