Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger formally filed an initiative Friday that would finance their plan for a $14.4-billion expansion of healthcare to most Californians, in part by almost doubling the state tax on cigarettes to $1.75 a pack.
Doesn't paying for Healthcare using cigarette taxes make it necessary for the state to promote smoking so the revenue keeps flowing?
