He is in that the money goes to cigarette companies, and not the government.

But the effect on the consumer is the same.

If a 0.20 increase is enough to make you complain, maybe just don't smoke cigarettes.

At what level are you allowed to complain, then?

They aren't. It's their vice, and they should deal with it.

Cigarettes were well under $1 a pack when I started smoking.

What categories of consumer goods are people allowed to complain about price increases for?

They could also just do what you did, and grow a tobacco plant.

Those things grow like nuts! They require basically no care. There are (and I am not joking) tobacco sprouts all over the yard now just from the plants naturally reseeding themselves. I have a ziploc bag full of tobacco seeds now and plastic bags full of tobacco.

Raising the price of cigarettes is a racist hate crime

That doesn't sound very healthy! Perhaps they need counselling?

They should have a thing where you're allowed to buy cigarettes tax free in exchange for not taking public healthcare ?

I'd agree with this, if we had a universal healthcare policy.
