If you are a poor person making $12,000 a year, that cigarette tax is 6.2 percent of your income. If you make $120,000 year it is 0.6 percent of your income. Is Barry Obama screwing the poor yet again?
And to those who may be contemplating a glib, disingenuous answer: Smoking tobacco is an addiction according to the US government. Eighty percent of those who try to quit smoking fail.
