A true tobacco farm operation is going to be elaborate, but not a home grower who is limited to 1/10 of an acre.

Does home-grown taste good?

Yes, for the major reason that all the additives aren't in it that you find in the mass market products. Additives, I might, that are required by the same government that sued the major manufacturers.

you are a dork

Ugh.

[Gabz]

I would rather be a dork than a supporter of the O’s tax raising.

[Kickass Conservative]

It’s time for a Wig Tax so Moochelle will pay her fair share.

[yldstrk]

well that’s good because you are a dork

[Vince Ferrer]

This is a winning issue if we are still trying anymore. More suffering caused by the rich white elitists from the Al Gore/Unabomber wing of the democrat party.

Cigarette taxes in the United States

In a study conducted on behalf of the New York State Department of Health, it revealed that low-income smokers (those in households making under $30,000), spent an average of 23.6% of their annual household income on cigarettes, compared to 2.2% for smokers in households making over $60,000.[15]

[Gabz]

What are you, 13, noob? Even my 14yo gave that nonsense up a few years ago.

I’m sure you have a habit that others wouldn’t like and would be rather peeved if they supported taxing you for it - or are you happy with taxing all things everyone, including you, that others dislike? I seriously doubt you would be, thus you are not only a tax hiking O supporter, you are a hypocrite.

I take being called a dork by the likes of you as a high compliment.

[patton]

Wunderbar. Just frickin’ wunderbar.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

"President's Obama's call for a 94-cent-a-pack hike on federal cigarette taxes to fund early childhood education programs"

Is the objective to kill smoking or kill funding for early childhood education?

[Covenantor]

Oops. Despite having spent so many childhood summer weekends on the Eastern Shore it slipped my mind.

Best regards

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts caught up with a friend of mine for her on-line purchases.

They wanted the unpaid taxes,plus interest and penalties.

She was 75 years old and fighting cancer,

They wouldn’t even let her make installment payments without adding more interest and penalties.

Despicable people !

Nothing in this budget proposal is actually going to get through the House or even see the floor.

Its a federal tax so it doesn’t help the honest entrepeneurs involved in state to state cigarette tax arbitrage. (I won’t call them smugglers, the real criminals are greedy statists who rob people of their money for their own good of course).

[Eric Blair 2084]

Henceforth, you will be known as poopyface.

My attorney put in the word henceforth.

[yldstrk]

lol

[yldstrk]

“Same with smokers. They are stupid.

So are people who insult others...........”

You just called yourself stoopid
