Senators move to revive cigarette tax
Published Saturday, March 28, 2009
JACKSON (AP) — A resolution has been filed in the Mississippi Senate to revive a proposed cigarette tax increase.
A proposal to raise the state’s 18-cent excise tax died this week after lawmakers failed to reach a deal by the legislative deadline.
The resolution filed Friday by Sen. Bill Stone of Ashland would suspend the deadlines so the measure could be brought up again for more negotiations.
It would take a two-thirds vote by both chambers to suspend the rules.

The resolutions are Senate Concurrent Resolution 683.

those cancer sticks should cost $100.00 a pack and than only sold to certified idiots.

I tried to quit by eating butterscotch candy when ever I craved a smoke. Didn't work, I just gained another habit. Now I like my cigarettes with a hint of butterscotch? Go figure!
