Letter: Because of smoke addiction, price no deterrent to habit "Tobacco is very addictive. Most smokers will tell you that they wish they had never started; however, they continue to smoke due to the addiction. The cost of the cigarette will not matter" -AMY PIKE Agrees with Scotty Carter: "Thinks higher taxes means less use not absolutely true" To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I have to agree with Mr. Carter on this issue. Raising the taxes on tobacco products is not the answer to stopping or deterring it's use. You are simply targeting a specific group of people to tax rather than tax everyone as a whole.

Letter: Higher tax deterrent to beginning smokers About: Thinks those addicted will buy cigarettes regardless of price To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I agree that those addicted to cigarettes may continue to buy them regardless of the price. However, a strong hope with raising the tax is that perhaps those just experimenting or not fully addicted (our young people) would think twice about purchasing them if the cost were higher. Kicking the habit is really tough - not becoming "in the habit" would be far easier. s/Jaime White 2009-02-07 02:59:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
