The socialist state uses ciggy taxes to pay for all kinds of crap and if this passes folks will quit in droves. Then tax revenues will actually fall leaving the politicos to scramble for other ways to steal from the populace.

Well, maybe one-fourth will quit smoking, but the majority will start rolling their own or crossing the state borders, etc.  Where there is a will there is a way. And don't forget:  people are still ordering cigarettes off of the Internet.

That's the trouble with this............the lawmakers talk out of both sides of their mouths!  They say they want a smoke free state, but then they raise taxes on cigarettes to balance their stupid budgets.  We all know they can't have both!

We are going to get hit with a 1.00 pack tax here in Texas after the first. I will not pay it I will quit first.
