gail Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Here's a thought I had---because Jersey is raising their cigarette taxes too--that maybe people will stop buying them??? Yes, the money is poor, poor, poor. No doubt. The pictures are great Sandy! gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebbie Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Gail -- I saw that on the new last night too -- that the Governor is proposing raising the cigarette tax in New Jersey from .45 to $2.50 a pack in order to "balance the budget". My first thought was that people would stop buying them......then I recalled that my husband's sister and her boyfriend jump in the car every Sunday afternoon and take the hour drive down to Delaware where they stock up on the cigarette cartons.....if people want to smoke, they figure it out.......
