And actually, this was voted on back in the summer (I would know, I was there during the vote). So it was the 110th congress's bill

After reconsideration I may quit smoking, that way some uninsured kid somewhere won't get coverage under the SCHIP program.

What does a pack of cigarettes actually cost? Like a dollar probably. I think it's crazy they can tax something like 700%, and nobody sees it as a little fed up.

I looked it up, and it's close to 1.35 a pack BEFORE any taxes.

It's 1.35 because of the billions in settlements they have to payout to states.

Having the government tax the product for revenue should be a De-facto stamp of approval and exempt that product from lawsuit liability.
