Will a $1 increase in the tax on cigarettes in Massachusetts prompt you to change your smoking habits?
Massachusetts legislators are moving toward a $1 increase in the tax on cigarettes sold in the state. The added tax will push the cost of a pack of cigarettes over $6.
If you are a smoker, will the additional tax prompt you to change your smoking habit? Will you quit? Will you buy your cigarettes elsewhere? Or will you just grit your teeth and pay the price?
If you are not a smoker, do you think it is fair to balance the state's budget with a tax on smokers?
