I knew this would happen. Our states get where they are dependent on the tax which was meant to discourage smoking. It worked but they still want the money.

Yes, but this cigarette tax turned them into gluttons.  MORE MORE MORE!

They shot the goose that laid the golden eggs.  They should have left well enough alone and enjoyed what they had coming in.

For some reason people in government can't even consider saving money. They want to spend every dime that comes in. Programs only grow, none ever just end. Makes me sick.
