Cigarette

Instead of education?

What happened to all the money the governator got for selling the road to outsiders? The tobacco companies gave the states enough money to fund healthcare but they spent it on projects instead of the intended uses?

The rise in cigarette tax for the health of our children.
I’m non-smoker.

Unfortunately, the people who proposed this legislation understand supply and demand about as well as a fish understands trigonometry.

When the cost of cigarettes goes up, people smoke less or quit smoking altogether. Then, the money that was supposed to go to health-care is gone. What do you think will be Congress’s response? Raise taxes on everyone, of course!

This reminds me of another piece of legislation here in Florida. The govt wasn’t making enough money on the toll roads so they decided to raise the price of the tolls. The problem is that now, nobody uses the toll roads because they are too expensive.

When most people stop smoking, how is the non-existent tax money supposed to pay for anything?

This legislation is counter-intuitive and it doesn’t make an ounce of sense.
