Of course, they'll fuck the money away

South Carolina state legislators have approved a measure to raise the per pack cigarette tax from seven cents to fifty cents. (Wow... taking it from the absolute lowest tax per pack in the U.S. all the way to the 42nd lowest.

Of course, Sanford is saying he'll veto it, but it was approved 41-1, so they should be able to override that veto if it comes to it.

I'm not even sure they sell those around here. I don't smoke (and I don't have Paypal), but I could look around and see.

Anyway, shouldn't you be quitting smoking?

My brother might have a point (see below) about the legality or need to pay the difference in taxes.

Aaaaaaand that kind of thing might be illegal... or at least your state may come after you for the difference in taxes.
