Smokers' Rights

Below is an excerpt from an email I received from My Smokers' Rights:

No one has to remind you that the cost-of-living in New York is high. Well, have you heard it's about to become even higher?

That's right. Politicians in Albany are pushing for a $1.00 tobacco tax increase on a pack of cigarettes. That would raise the price of cigarettes to $2.50 a pack. That's an increase of more than 67 percent!

That's wrong! The hard working people of New York already pay too much in taxes.

Take action today and stop the politicians from raising your taxes by sending an e-mail to your state legislator Senator Martin Golden. If you have time, also give him a call at (518) 455-2730.

In your own words, tell Senator Golden you can't afford another tax increase. Let him know that a cigarette tax increase is unfair and will be a burden on those who can least afford it.
