Cigarettes reach nine dollars a pack in New York

Is alcohol next

Should Marijuana be legalizes?

Why not then they can tax that also

cough* *cough* smoking is such a bad habit

it's gross just like smoke from marijuana

$9.00 in Chicago but a new state and federal tax is coming that will make it close to $11
It would be a good time to quit:)

I was never prouder of my dad when i found out that he finally stopped smoking. And now, he bought a brand new 08 Pathfinder, and the money he saves from not smoking ciggarettes is enough to pay for his monthly payments of his car. He basically just got a free car for quitting smoking.

well, i can't wait for the fat tax

and the junk food prices sky high

Here in the US junk food is everywhere as you know. Just browse a random food aisle of your local Safeway: hydrogenated vegetable oils everywhere, trans fats, corn syrup, and so on. All the crap that makes you fat first and kills you later. You can't increase prices on all those products, as they are so widespread.

I fully support the fat tax.

You can tax junk food easily...

Wont happen, too much money if fast food and junk food...its a disgrace how many fat kids there are in the UK, makes me sick when I see them waddling down the road with their chubby thighs chaffing, yuk!

In theory... . I would love to see all those lobbyists of the food industry scream if someone would try. A longer shelf life and higher profits have always been more important than a few million people killed by trans fats for example.

in Buffalo NY says each pack of Marlboro ciggarettes cost him $10 a pack.

I hope it happens because they can use the tax to prop up health insurance and not raise taxes on the middle class who will have hissy fits over it. They would have fits anyway tho after having to give up cigarettes and now junk food on top of that but they would be better off

Come on Plastic if you honestly though that your bottled brand of water was pre bottle before the what industrial revolution what else are you so far out on. I dont want to hammer you too much but how dare you come here with some of your philosophies. Its endearing and cute really that youre so niave. Sorry girl the world just doesnt work like that.

You got some kahoonas on yah coming here with your views, i'll give you that. Its a free for all i suppose i said some weird shite too so what the hell.

So he's gone from killing himself with smoke to killing the planet,

Somebody please think of the children

Junk food is next. It will happen
