Obama signed a bill yesterday, raising the cost of cigarettes 60 cents more per pack.
Are you Obama supporters that smoke good with that? Now we only need 22 million more smokers to pay for the Childrens Health insurance- Oh yah- the so called 11 million children include 30 year olds and under, the smokers are paying for this.
 
Yeah, it's one way I guess. Some of the smokers will end up costing us down line anyway...so a contribution from them is OK, and they can always quit. That is tax you have choice about.
 
I don't care, cause I roll my own! LOL My weekly cost is about $7 a week.

Jason, you amaze me. How would you suggest that the unemployed get health insurance? How do you think people who work for a company that does not provide it get it? Have you ever shopped for a policy for someone over 40 with a chronic condition?
 
I'm not even a smoker and I find it disgusting that taxes on tobacco keep rising to help insure people that don't have health insurance by choice. I wonder what the government will do once the smokers revolt and stop buying cigarettes.
 
It's a good thing we don't legalize marijuana and tax the proceeds from that because after all dangerous drug gangs need money to buy their guns. bullets ain't cheap!
 
Fork Obama and his tax and spend policies! I guess that tells you I am not one of his supporters.
 
I wouldn't have a problem with the tax honestly (i really need to quit smoking, and I have gradually cut down on how much i smoke as price has gone up) IF this money woudn't be squandered. Our gov't spends tax dollars like there's no tomorrow. The people I know that have the same wasteful spending habits as bush did and now obama have all gone bankrupt.

What I'd like to know is, how much of a pack is taxes now anyway? They already cost twice as much as they did a few years ago.
 
yep now HE has to pay an extra 60 cents per pack. Oh wait a second...... immune to law. He gets his for FREE!!!
 
Too bad obama is too weak minded to be able to quit....His example has made smoking the new "in." for young people. So now--they'll be more crime by poor who have to have a Pack of cigs they can't afford...
obama is just plain dumb...and inexperienced--and it shows.
 
It's a democrat thing. Their policies always result in higher taxes. Don't be fooled by Obama. he doesn't pay for his coffin nails. If people want to smoke, then smoke. I'm not a smoker but don't support one particular groups of people having to pay for some type of govt. program that will fail anyway. Look out for the marriage tax. This country is getting pathetic. I sure wish we could just start over lol.
 
What always amazes me is that no one ever asks where $.39 per pack they were already collecting is.

Oh yeah, I forgot, that's just gone.........
 
All they have to do is lower the smoking age 16 and then they get their revenue.






Kidding of course.
 
He didn't go far enough ! Tobacco is the only thing for sale, that when used as intended, will kill ya ! He should make them illegal !
