Hi - Once again I was reading my NYTimes this morning. Once again, our crack state legislature is trying to finalize the budget in time for the APRIL 1 Deadline (they never have done it yet, why start now?)

One of the items they are debating is to raise more money (so that they can turn right around and spend it) is ANOTHER $1.50 TAX ON TOP OF THE $1.50 ALREADY IN PLACE.

That's $3.00 NYS Tax on a pack of cigs, on top of the fed tax. They say that would put the AVERAGE price of a pack of cigs in NY state to just over $6.00.

NY is also considering ban on smoking OUTSIDE.

Now, how many more reasons do you need?

I don't know what they're costing here in the St. Louis area but I feel certain it isn't quite that much. Isn't it a great feeling that we don't have to include that iten in our budgets anymore?
