How Many Smokers Are Okay With Obama's Tax Hike Signed Yesterday?

[DrewM]

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.

[GoneGreen]

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.

[jncorners]

yep now HE has to pay an extra 60 cents per pack. Oh wait a second...... immune to law. He gets his for FREE!!!

[lugnut]

Fork Obama and his tax and spend policies! I guess that tells you I am not one of his supporters.

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!

I'm happy to pay a few cents more for my cigs for all the good it will do.

[mommanuke]

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?

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.........

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.
