I just read the prop ... an EXTRA $2.60 per pack - you know I don't feel the same way about smoking around other people as you do...but damn... an extra $2.60 is getting into Boston Tea Party Territory.
I've got to agree with you on this - at that point its not really about just taxation anymore - its back door prohibition and an invitation to smuggling.
Exactly! And it's a Legal Product for heaven's sake. I wonder if any other group would put up with having their Twinkies or Beer and Wine taxed this way. I doubt it.
And when something hits our Seniors and Vets, it's going way over the top.
Maine already raised the taxes to $2 dollars on a pack and $20 dollars on a carton. Can you believe this?
