Cigarette Tax

Cartons of cigarettes are now taxed at a rate of 10.10 a cart and 1.01 a pack. Smokers feel they are being targeted and feel offended. I feel this tax is a great thing. smoking is a nasty disgusting habit, that not only hurts the smoker, but also hurts those around them. Therefore anything that would hinder a person from smoking, I am and will be in favor of. I think that this tax will do two major things. First it will cause some smokers to realize that this habit of there's is way to expensive and they will quit. Another thing it may do is cause younger adults or youth to not smoke because of the ridiculous price on cigarettes. Smoking kills several people, so if people want to kill themselves they're gonna have to pay for it.
