Wisconsin - I don’t smoke, and I don’t think other people should either. Therefore, I cannot argue against the idea of a smoking ban in public places in Wisconsin, nonetheless I would never force my ideas on another. A person should have a right to decide what goes into their body. As such, even I think the new cigarette tax is quite outrageous.
From Oct. 1, 2001 to Dec. 31, 2007, the excise tax on a single cigarette was 3.85 cents, or 77 cents on a 20-pack of cigarettes according to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
Yet that has changed this year, and as of Jan. 1, 2008 the excise tax on a single cigarette has increased to 8.85 cents, or $1.77 on a pack of cigarettes. This means that right now, the cost of a pack is almost $5. Full Story
