The average price of a pack of cigarettes is $9.95 in Massachusetts (a bargain compared to New York, where it is $12.85).

High New York cigarette taxes lead to selling "loosies" (individual cigarettes sold by entrepreneurs on the street).

Cigarette taxes were bad enough 25 years ago to help me quit smoking. (The King may well have the last laugh, because I may be around longer, and paying even more taxes.)

Just another stupid feel-good liberal law, IMO. If you are old enough to enlist in the military without a parent's consent, you should be old enough to vote, buy cigarettes ... and buy a pistol or a bottle of alcohol, too!
