Tabacco Tax

Recently there has been a new tax on all tabacco products and I think this might stop younger people from beginning to smoke. The economy is so bad the younger generation is having problems making money as it is, why would they waste even more money for something that my relax you but cause you health problems? Smoking just leads to spending more money. First theres the money for the cigarettes themselves, then theres the hospital bills because smoking lowers the immune system and you get sick more. All in all I believe its just a waste of money, plus it causes all sorts of health problems.
