Here is a good link for you:

Does it suprise anybody that the lowest rate of tax per pack comes from the three states with the largest production of tobacco - Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina - all averaging a whopping $0.03 per pack. Does it suprise anybody that these three states have some of the worst education programs out there for grade schools? I saw a commercial that if they raised the tax by $0.25 per pack each state could increase their tax income by like $100 million per year. By shockingly, the vote to raise cig tax was fillabustered out so they never even got to vote on it. Gotta love those lobbiers!

I wish the Fed Govt would step in too and say they are charging an additional $1 per pack federal tax and say to any state out there who charges less than $0.50 a pack in tax loses government subsidies for important programs. Maybe even tie in additional funds to those that charge more per pack.

I wish every fucking smoker out there would sue the shit of their tobacco company and win billions of dollars - so that they had to go out of business.

Anybody starts smoking is a moron with such low self-estem that they have to start smoking at a young age to feel like they are accepted!
