The two counties on Long Island are trying to pass a "sin tax" on cigarette sales. They're proposing a $2.00/pack tax with the expectations of raising $30 million a year.

They claim their goal is really to stop a lot of people from smoking. FUCK THEM AND THE HORSE THEY RODE IN ON!! If they're really interested in improving the health of their citizens they should do something about cleaning up the environment from all the toxic wastes/pollutants that are dumped each year. They won't do that, though, because the big industries would cry "foul".

FUCKING HYPOCRITES!!!!
