The current tax on tobacco products in Utah is .69 and it will go up to a $1.69 on July 1st. The reasoning is because smokers are a burden on the health care system, and believe it or nrabroad
, republicans passed this bill.

So, shall we tax fat fucks and old bastards for being fat and old now too? They are more of a burden on the health care system than tobacco users ever could be. Should we increase taxes on fast food, or any food considered to be "unhealthy" by government? Should we tax people who have unprrabroad
ected sex because they spread STD's? Should we tax anybody who participates in sports because they can easily get injured? They are all burdens on the health care system too.
 
I know it's trabroad
ally about money, but the "reasoning" is health. That is the reasoning the government used to pass the bill.

But Wyoming isn't too far away and they sell much better smokes at much lower prices. It'll be interesting to see if the tax revenue really does increase. I personally will be purchasing tobacco products outside the state from now on.
 
A pretty poor fiction book written by Joseph Smith. Crazy so many people believe it.
