[quote:Anonymous Coward 1352353:MV8xNTk0ODkxXzI2Mzg5MDQxXzIyQTkxNDI1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1506796] All three of those things you listed, when used/taken in moderation, are neither harmful, nor do they kill you. Smoking cigarettes, even in moderation, causes lung cancer. Nice attempt at comparison, but it really doesn't work. [/quote] Wow, you really are ignorant. People smoke cigs without ever getting lung cancer. Furthermore, it has been shown that the polonium used in the crop fertilizers is actually what causes the lung cancer. So it's not really tobacco, it's what the tobacco is grown in. Why do you feel the need to be my daddy? [/quote]

Here wego again. A bill is in the Senate with major increases in the taxes on tobacco products.
One part of it is raising the tax on pipe (actually cigarette) tobacco from $2.83 per pound to
just short of $50 dollars.
Cigarettes are going up too. From $50.33 to $100.50
(1) PIPE TOBACCO (thick cut cigarette tobacco labeled as "pipe" tobacco to circumvent cigarette tax)- Section 5701(f) of the IRS Code of 1986 is amended by striking ‘
$2.8311 cents
’ and inserting ‘
$49.55
’.
