I agree that we should increase tax on tobacco. It is an unnessasary vice that people have. Might as well discourage tobacco use and help reduce the debt at the same time. as J.J said the demand for tobacco (if the people who are buying are addicted) is inelastic. Yes it sounds bad that we are counting on the peoples addiction to make money, but might as well take advantage of it.
