If the cigarette tax is supposed to deter people from smoking, why aren’t they using any of the revenue from the tax to provide low income people that use the public health system with smoking cessation aids to help them quit?
If they truly wanted people to quit, wouldn’t it make sense to provide those that can’t afford 7 a month on chantix or on patches or gum those products to help them quit?
Are they truly interested in helping people quit or is this just a money grab from people with an addiction?
Wow… a goverment website so that you can READ about how to quit.
So, now, anyone with an additction can just read how to quit and they are done with it?
Sweet… I guess all those drug addicts can just read about how to quit and all is well.
Good thing we can get rid of those rehad centers, those things cost a fortune.
The state that I live in is proposing a per pack increase on cigarettes. I called the governors office to ask about the plans for the revenue from that tax. Not one dime was going into any kind of fund to help smokers quit.
I asked about giving smokers smoking cessation aides such as gum, patches, Chantix through the public health system. Nope. I asked about ANY programs to help people quit smoking. NONE.
So, isn’t taxing cigarettes and not putting the money into any program to help smokers quit basically milking people with an addiction?
Wouldn’t it be the "right" thing to do to use the money for smoking cessation programs to help people quit?
Isn’t that what the anti-smoking people want…for people to not smoke?
Or do they enjoy the benefits of the money that is generated from taxing people with an addiction?
