Smokers compain about tax

I hear smokers in Hattiesburg are complaining about the new tax to be increased on a box of cigarettes to $10. This is completely justified. Have you been looking on the ground lately around Hattiesburg? The ground is littered with cigarette butts that smokers carelessly toss away as they hurry to light up another. My only regret is that they don't give alchohol the same punishment, it has even more detrimental effects on society as a whole.
