OK, I will play your game, I will take the $50 a pack and raise you $10. Maybe we can pay for the whole state budget with one pack.

Or maybe the druggies will switch from cocaine to cigarettes. Stupid liberals, works just like gun control.

..raise the tax to $70. A tax has been deemed legal, and what is the difference if you tax it $10 or $70. Smokers are a minority, and cant do anything about it - and why hot have more revenue coming in to the state coffers.
