        Liquor is highly taxed, but just low enough to make it easy to sell legally. It's at the sweet spot.

        I say everything should have the same tax or no tax. Car, house, alcohol, and tobacco one tax. Baby food maybe no tax.

        The city that never smokes would still have to contend with second hand smoke from New Jersey and whatever might come from 3 Mile Island!

        Raising the price of cigarettes will not force people to stop, it will only increase crime, people burglarizing stores to steal & resell
