Well, the $.61 cents per pack did it. Plus now our governor is raising the tax in NC (a large tobacco farming state) to $.50 from $.35 so all together the increase is $.86 cents per pack. I am so happy that I quit smoking but not as happy as I feel when I get to say "stick it to the fed's and the state", I'm not paying you new tax. But more to the point, Oregon raised taxes on cigarettes 5 or 6 years ago to fund the new Oregon Health Plan...well due to many smokers that quit, the cost of inflation, and other factors the Oregon health plan is in dire straits. My point being that if a specific population is targeted for increased taxation, the funding for the new plan will decrease and the entire population of taxpayers will end up covering the deficit. On socialized medicine...WHO ARE THE 50 MILLION UNINSURED PEOPLE THAT OBAMA WANT'S TO COVER? I would really like to know where this number came from and who is included in the count...can someone tell us?

Folks he has no intentions of working for this nation, his cornies called the democratic party, the labor unions, and organizations such as acorn first and foremost wants to further their agenda. In all actuality obama wants his personal agenda and that is socialism and government control of peoples lives. The smoking tax hurts the very people he vowed to help, the poor who can't afford to smoke to start with. People wake up, when you get a disease from smoking, lets see how much medical treatment you receive if socialised medicine becomes a reality. This is not obama's first broken promise nor his last.
