Most Californians clamor for a tobacco tax increase - BloggingStocks.
A recent poll of state voters shows 70% in favor of a $1.50-per-pack increase in the state cigarette tax. Breaking down the numbers across party lines, 78% of Democrats, 75% of independents, and 65% of Republicans approve of such a measure. But Republican leadership remains opposed to the idea. A spokeswoman told reporters "Tax increases aren't the answer. Neither is tying programs with increasing costs to a tax source that is declining."
