Before the tax, I was buying 7 packs of American Spirits a week.

Since they announced the tax, I spent about $250 on an 18 month supply of RYO and cut my consumption in half.

At best, they won’t see another dime from me until the Fall of 2010. That’s if I don’t start growing my own, which I plan to.

They’re going to kill tobacco revenues.

Has government quit subsidizing tobacco farmers?

Have been in the process of quitting for three weeks now.

The damned tax and recent manufactures price increase is one of the reasons - I can not justify spending roughly $3,600.00 a year on smokes.
Prior to this April 1st tax my brother was spending $9.50 a pack for camels.
Looked into a rolling machine but still, that 25.00 tax per pound adds up...

tobacco tax is a mechanism to effect further egregious acts, since precedence is “a priori”.
