For a typical smoker this will cost them about $100 a month. Do you see a problem with someone taxing your habbits so extremely. Not to mention they already pay $1.75 tax per pack tax. Why dont we just put a $1.50 tax on Soda, bottled water, chips, big macks, gum, candy, alchohol, or coffee. Maybe vegetables. See how you like a huge tax aimed directy at you and your habbit. Im voting yes on 67 just in case 66 passes so every one will get to pay extra for something that is neccesary to they daily routine.

yes, but since I don't smoke it doesn't really bother me.
But if I WAS a smoker, I'd be the first one at the polling booth to vote NO. ;). I hope your fellow smokers are voting for their right to smoke without another tax.
Edit: Well the proposition lost, so enough people in California share your opinion.
