I sucks to be a cigar smoker in California thats for sure. Soon I will be paying $15 ea. for my Peach Phillies

Pretty shitty considering the Governor is a smoker.

I guess he can afford those proposed taxes though. Just chump change to him- like the cost of filling up his Hummers

One more reason to stay away from the Peoples Republic of Californication.

Not to mention the Governator is probably buying Cubans all the time. That tax is pretty damn ridiculous. It's funny that they make the tax out to be something to make people quit using tobacco but what it really comes down to is making more money because they know people will buy anyway because cigarettes are addictive. People don't not buy crack because it costs alot. Bullshit. I'd saying something about the politics of California but this is the wrong forum, I will say that it's hard to believe the Governor is Republican.

Damn. %115?!? thats insane. California is going down hill more and more every year.

It will only hurt business owners, and those without internet access.

Sad to say that most of these anti-smoking attacks are successful.

Republicans are now MORE likely to want to control your personal life than ANY other group.

Not the "Politics" forum but I have to disagree. The Republican Party has always been for less government intervention and lower taxes, including the tobacco taxed. While the Democrats have promoted socialism and more governmant programs, higher taxes, and more government control of your money and life.

Not sure where you got that opinion that the Republicans were backing this initiative. Start a new thread in the Politics section as I am sure it would be a lively conversation.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Considering I hate both Democrats and Republicans equally I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on this one. When you have one of the largest liberal states making these extreme strides towards fucking the cigar and cigarette smoker it's pretty easy to see where this is coming from. Considering that every republican I talk to is appalled at this type of legislation and most democrats agree with it just shows me even more.

Politicians all just need to suck my nuts.
