Answer
I am going to quit for sure. I think it is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like the government is dictating what people should do because of the very high increase. I am not even quitting because of the price, I am quitting out of pure principle that I do not want the government to touch a penny of mine because of this tax. I think a lot of smoker's will finally wise up and plan to quit. There will probably be some people who will not quit but I hope at lease 30 percent decide to quit. I think the government made a big mistake on raising cigarettes this much. Some would say that it will save money in the long run because of health problems but, you could debate that forever. For example, you could say that the government should tax fast food because it could save money in the long run. The government is going to hurt more business because of this, something which is probably not a good idea now. The government is just going to find something else to tax after they find out this does not work and probably think why they did this to smokers in the first place. So come on anti-smokers, TELL ME HOW WRONG I AM AND GIVE ME A THUMBS DOWN!!!!
