its my understanding that the tax of tobacco goes to help offset tobacco related expenses like lung cancer, cancer research, tobacco use awareness . . .which i think is a good thing. i could be wrong. i imagine it costs us alot of money for the older folks on medicaid who have been smoking for 60 years and get cancer . . .
