    1. Hate to tell you, but since Biden was elected my cigarettes have gone up over $2. Not sure he caused it, but true.

  1. Hannon speaks clearly and makes a lot of sense. No wonder the state representatives never take the advice of the American Cancer Society!

    “Our preferred approach is that we tax all tobacco products equally” – that doesn’t give the reps any way to suck more cash from the Tobacco lobby, though!
