but if it was used for medicinal purposes, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I do, however, have a problem with people just using it to get baked. I think it is something that you have to have a script for in order to get. JMHO though.

I am a smoker...(sm)
I don't think it's too bad of an idea. However, I think a better idea would be to use that annual 2.4 billion that Bush pledged to Israel in 2007.
I don't think most smoker's will quit just to
but I agree with you to some extent. I think most American's would be happy to have their taxes raised a little bit if it meant saving the life of even 1 child or improving the health of a chronically ill child. I certainly wouldn't mind having my taxes raised to help children AND the elderly get more affordable healthcare. On the other hand, for now the cigarette tax is a great idea, and if it does help some people quit, more power to them! I'm sure you see the same thing I do in medical reports every day though - people with COPD, asthma, lung cancer - still smoking!! If impending death isn't enough to make a lot of people quit I don't think $1 extra per pack will either.
