Cigarettes are now almost $10 per pack in Chicago & around $7 in the surrounding suburbs. Is this fair?
 
I think its totally fair. The US wastes millions of dollars on medical expenses each year from problems related to cigarettes. If we are too dumb to realize that smoking is going to eventually kill or hurt us then we should be the ones supporting our habits. I also think that it could encourage a lot of people to quit, like myself, or at least I hope it would.
