Plus, I read that the bill authorizes 50% higher premiums for smokers than for nonsmokers. Seems like nicotine addiction should be considered a pre-existing condition?

But the person could be a falling down drunk 7 nights a week and that’s okay.

What a stupid country this has become.

In MA the state cig tax is $2.50 so I’m expected to pay $35.00 in taxes on a carton and to add insult to injury they compute the 6% sales tax on the aforementioned excise taxes.
