California voted on Prop 86 last november (Sin Tax) which would have raised the price of a pack of cigaret $2.60 more per pack, 13 cents per cigaret. It didn't pass....this time. The claim the money was to go toward qualified hospitals (?), emergency services, and health care fore eligible children. Why should smokers only have to fund these things?
I was reading that in Nevada they wanted to not only increase cigaret taxes, but also add a $5.00 charge for anyone who walks into a bar, and also tax (don't remember the amount), those who choose to hire an "escort" service.
You know we must pay for our vices.
I think it sucks.
