Sorry smokers – tax hike for S-CHIP comes 3 weeks early

I’m not a smoker, never have been, so I really don’t care about a tax hike for smokers, aside from when the Government lies through its teeth. Smokers who were preparing to take a hit to their wallets next month are learning to their surprise that the era of nearly $5-per-pack cigarettes arrived early. According to the St. Petersburgh Times, on April 1, the federal government boosts its tax on cigarettes to help pay for a children’s health care program. But many tobacco companies, in anticipation of the extra 62-cent tax, decided to implement price hikes now — about three weeks early.
