"Cigarettes as well, were to sustain a .50 to $1.50 per pack increase. Ostensibly, this tax was to fund a health care package for children."

Why should cigarette smokers pay for a health care package for "children".

Why not just tax Democrats/ left wing lunatics and the parents of these "children" who want this health care package instead?

If taxing smokers is constitutional, then taxing Democrats is too.

The “good” news it that many of them smoke so they will be helping to pay for this.
