Packing on the tobacco tax
Hey smokers, will it make you feel better knowing it's for the kids? The Wall Street Journal says Senators are talking about hiking the federal cigarette tax to $1 a pack. Right now, it's 39 cents, plus state taxes. Democrats want to use the extra revenue to add $50 billion to the State Children's Health Insurance Program, also known as S-Chip, which provides health insurance to low-income children.
