No it wouldn't! More people would go the 'no smoking' route, thus reducing the money spent. When will Jenni learn that lowering taxes gives consumers the incentive to spend more which generates MORE tax revenue? Don't they teach math in Canada?

math, they hire accountants to do that. canadians don't do math, they have socialized everything. socialists aren't rich, therefore, no math.

there are already plenty of smokers who buy cigarettes out of state, or even out of the country. michigan doesn't sell that much tobacco compared to ohio, who's taxes are less, therefore their prices are lower. demcorats have used taxation as a weapon against that with which they disagree. they are against smoking, so they tax cigarettes. they are against drinking so they tax alcohol. they are against business so they tax businesses. they are against the 'poor' making money, so they tax their income. they are against the 'rich' making money, so they tax them heavier. we are being punished at every turn.

helps fund terrorists. They buy them in low tax states and sell them here. Two penny jenny needs to learn about the law of unintended consequences.

The border is just a hop, skip and jump away. All this tax will do is put more small businesses who sell cigarettes, etc out of business.
