Do you think that part of the high tax on cigarettes should be used to help people to quit smoking? -
I think people are going to smoke regardless of how high the tax is, it is ridiculous how much tax is on them to start with, and yes i think they should be putting some of that money back into helping people quit, but realistically they are creaming all that tax on them and if everyone quit where would they make up that extra revenue?

Sure, why not? I just quit smoking - I had to pay a lot of money to do it, some help would have been nice. I mean, only smokers are going to take advantage of something like that (because non-smokers don-t need to quit) so why not let them pay for it, in advance. The general public is just going to have to pay for the medical needs of those who are uninsured - sick from smoking so go ahead - cut my taxes - tax them instead.
No, that-s a silly reason. It-s like picking a cash cow that-s dying of hoof and mouth disease. Right now, we tax cigarettes and keep raising the taxes for schools and roads and children-s healthcare. Then, some Congressman says -and it should be more of an incentive for people to quit-. WHAT!? Then what happens to schools and roads and children-s healthcare? If it has to finance this important stuff the government needs to encourage people to smoke.
yes and no smoking is going to kill you and people still do it. so why not let them kill there selfs
Well for how much tax is on 1 pack of cigarettes, people who smoke should get a Little more consideration if you ask me. I quit smoking almost a year ago, but I still think it-s crappy how smokers are treated like 2nd rate citizens. You would think with all that tax revenue they would at least be able to provide smokers with somewhere to smoke and be able to help them quit. Drunk people bother me far worse than smokers and you can still get drunk at some family restaurants, that kind of hypocritical.
yes... we should take advantage of peoples addiction!
The purpose of the tax in some countries, other than to generate government revenue, is to provide funds for the remedy of the problems the items create. One example is in recycling. A government (City, State or National) may charge several extra cents for every can of soft drink that is sold. Then from its revenue, it takes every two cents they earned from the can taxes, and give it to companies that recycle the cans. In other words, the consumers pay for the recycling through the extra tax tagged onto the price of the soft drink cans.
The higher tax on cigarettes therefore should also be used to fund -quit smoking- campaigns as well as other ills caused by smoking - such as lung cancer.
