"raising taxes on cigarettes bring in more money for health" is utter bullshit. The money isn't put into a special account for hospital upkeep. Those funds go into general revenue just like car speeding tickets which don't go toward fixing local roads. Those funds just become a bigger state budget addiction like every other vice out there to just garner more of it to feed into the bigger bureaucracy it funds, claiming otherwise is just a fat lie.
Raise taxes on your soy latte, fucking bullshit.
If tax raise on cigs would lead to many people actually quitting
They wouldn't raise the tax
Yupp, dont know anyone that quit cause it was too pricey. Def will just hurt the pockets of nincotine users often poor already.
Of course it is
In my country cost of cigs almost doubled since I started smoking, although it should be noted that wages also went up
But still - 87% of price of cigs is all taxes combined, go figure
Cigarettes are great, I think more people should smoke.
Smoking is my kink. Unjust discrimination on alt life styles
If People quit smoking then they lose those sweet sweet tax dollars. They just wanna feed that government pig
