Answer 1

It's cheap.

When we can afford to burn off a ten dollar bill.

Not everyone can do that..

But can have free smell of the smokes.

Answer 2

Yes, it is excessive. We'll find the domestic cigar industry shriveled to nothing , while the foreign competition gets the money, while the States move the monies its suppose to get else where instead of the children's health insurance program .

Answer 3

Yes, it is excessive.  See, the government doesn't want to ever ban smoking, they just want to tax the ba-jeezus out of it.  It's what they call a "sin" tax.  Just like there is a tax on cigarettes.

Answer 4
