I recently quit smoking after 35 years. I quit for health reasons not
because of taxes. I doubt raising them would do any good. Gasoline at
$3.35 a gallon hasn't stopped people from driving. People are willing
to pay for their addictions, whether it be nicotine or gas guzzeling
vehicles. Be real, heroin addicts don't quit because the price of the
drug went up.
