Business Owners Say Plan Would Curtail Sales
BALTIMORE -- Maryland could soon be one of the most expensive states in the country for smokers, if a campaign to raise the tobacco tax succeeds.
Anti-smoking advocates want to tack on an extra dollar to bring the state's cigarette tax to $3 a pack.
Officials said cigarettes bring in by far the most money when it comes to "vice taxes" in the state.

who buys cigs in md anymore?
Maryland could soon be the highest taxed state in the union if the current trend continues.
The Maryland Government is letting us all know that they would prefer for us to shop in other states.
I don't know why, but that is the very clear signal being sent to all Maryland Citizens.
cutting off one's nose in spite of one's face. much more revenue will be realized with lower tarriff on cigs. if you can't afford to buy a pack, you won't.
