LOL!!!!! (like me you mean?)
I'd love to know what the people at the Cancer Society are smoking with comments like that, because it sure ain't tobacco!!!
The only way they can guess how many smokers there are is based on tax revenues and their own surveys. If Delaware raises the cig tax like the Governor wants, there will be a huge decline in "packs sold" because the people that currently come to Delaware from MD, NJ & PA will stop buying them here. And more and more Delawre smokers will go with the roll-your-owns or buying via the internet.
Well, I didn't want to come right out and say it - But - Yeh.
If I lived in a state that had just basically outlawed my smoking anywhere except my home and my car, I'd be looking to move.
I live in the wild, wild West so I don't tend to factor in the "spillover" effect in the smaller states. Now that you bring it up, the last I remember anyone going out of state to buy anything around here was back in the '70s when Coors beer couldn't be sold in Oregon. I'm sure that those closer to the border hop over pretty regularly(both ways) to beat sales taxes or buy lottery tickets.
You've put a new spin on the way I'll look at the politics of the little Lib states of the Eastern seaboard. Thanks.
