Almost every state has increased its cigarette tax in the last dozen or so years, Many have raised it more than once. Maryland, in particular, has done more than any state and reaping the benefits from it. Since 1999, the state has increased the levy on cigarettes three times, more than quintupling the rate, which now stands at $2 per pack, making even the most traditionalist opt for electronic cigarettes.
Smokers are understandably affected by this however think of those who are helped.
