But wait.....there's more!!!
That's just at the STATE level. If & WHEN that takes effect, the Boroughs (we don't have Counties here) can then enact their own taxes. Our borough's current tax on top of the states tobacco tax is 100%!!!
That's why I say NONE of this has ever been about ANYTHING BUT MONEY! A second bite at the "tobacco tax", a revenue stream that is evaporating as we speak! The FDA, our Federal, State & Local "officials" can "smoke & mirror it" all they want with every kind of rhetoric we've all heard. Plain & simple, MONEY!
Just a "heads up", all you other states had better keep a REALLY close eye on your legislature. I doubt that ANY will pass up a second bite at the apple! As I said, "our" legislature was in special session to TRY and resolve a nearly 5 BILLION dollar deficit but rest assured as soon as your legislatures return to "work" they're going to do the same thing. It's a license to pick your pockets and THEY WILL!!!
