I’m doing an essay for school on the ban of cigarettes. I need some help finding articles discussing other things we could place taxes on in the place of the huge tax on cigarettes. We get so many tax dollars from cigarettes and spend it on nesscary things- where would we get this money from if not from the tax, and what exactly do we spend it on, anyway?
Lol.
Any helpful links or opinions?
I could really use links to site that contain information as to where exactly the cigarette tax goes- ex. what does it fund? who does it help?
we could always tax fast food. pretty much every one eats it, and it horrible for your heath in the long run, like smokes. but its socially acceptable to eat at places like McDonald’s, so that would never fly.
what the tax is spent on, is up to individual states. hear in Arizona, most of it goes to early childhood education and welfare programs, plus anti smoking crusades. very little of it goes into medicaid.
