Just because you decide to smoke shouldn’t mean you have to pay for a stimulus plan. If that’s what this is all about.
No one HAS to pay the cigarette tax. You only HAVE to pay it if you want to buy cigarettes. It’s a choice, maybe not one people like, but it’s still a choice all the same. The tax is not on a group of people, it’s on a product that people elect to buy.
