Does anyone believe that raising the price of tobacco is going to reduce tobacco use by kids? The Canadian experiment was totally unsuccessful except at creating a black market in cigarettes from the United States.This is just another excuse to raise taxes for every politician's favorite program. The only tobacco legislation that the federal government should pass is to prevent all form of tobacco advertising; that might make a dent. Family intervention is the one way to keep kids from smoking,not federal legislation. - --- Checked-by: (trikydik)
