cigarette tax

I feel that the cigarette tax is needed because the smokers will think twice about buying them because of the tax on cigarettes. I also feel that this is a good idea because it will not only help the smokers quit therefore improving their health but also cut down on second had smoke. I know that it is hard for a smoker to stop but I watch the smokers in my family quit and because of it they are healthier so I stand by my choice that the tax increase on cigarettes is a good thing.
