Starting on April first, the cost of cigarettes is going to go up drastically to help pay for the new stimulus package.
How do you feel about the cost going up?
Will you be able to afford to smoke after the new taxes going in to affect?
Do you think that it's right for the American tax payer to pay even more to bail out larger corporations?

I think it's wrong that the government can tax an entire group of people like this. I don't understand how people can accept a tax on something that brings a lot of people joy and helps them get through the stresses of everyday life. They're only taxing people that smoke and not really anybody else which I think is just really not fair to people who smoke.

Well, I think its Great! I'll be laughing all the way to the bank. The only taxes I like are Sin Taxes. No I don't feel sorry for the Smokers. They are getting off on their smoke while I go without any stimulation. They are getting their kicks. Those guys do have an option, much as they will say they don't. Nobodies gonna murder them if they quit! To sum it all up, let me say- keep puffing and may the Good Lord Bless and keep you healthy, so you can keep on buying more smokes!
