"State cigarette and other tobacco tax revenues are among the most predictable, steady, and reliable revenues that states receive. While these revenues do decline gradually over time as smoking and
other tobacco use declines, the reductions in revenue are modest, predictable, and more than offset
by the related reductions in public and private sector health care costs and other economic costs
caused by smoking."
considering they say it's, "among the most predictable, steady, and reliable revenues" I bet they aren't none to happy about the way e-cigs have taken off! I can't help but feel they don't care at all for peoples health... it's all about the money..... IMO
