Another target that we hate.

I see so few people smoking pipes today ...

Earlier this year, Congress passed and the President enacted a major tax increase on tobacco products as a way to pay for subsidizing health care for low-income children. The total cost of federal cigarette taxes went up 62 cents per pack to $1. But taxes on roll-your-own tobacco went up even higher, from $1.10 to $24.78 per pound. That’s a 2,250% increase.
