Beware!

CONCORD, N.H. -- As some states look to tobacco tax increases to plug budget holes, a few are bucking the national trend and saying, "If you smoke 'em, we got 'em," looking at dropping the rate to boost cigarette sales.

In New Hampshire, supporters argue that reducing the tax by a dime would help the state compete with Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts, while opponents say it would still lose millions of dollars even if higher sales resulted.

If you live in New England please find out what your legislaters are doing and let your voice be heard! How many of you quit partially because of the cost? We all pay taxes for health related illness!
