Start smoking pipe tobacco! It saves money, smells good, and is easier on the lungs if one doesn’t inhale.

A few quick ideas:
1. impeachment (that high of a sales tax is criminal)
2. buy everything online from out of state.
3. move to Indiana (better basketball, less crime)
4. accept it as the cost of living in Illinois

Actually, the state government (state taxing authority) doesn’t really want us to stop smoking. In fact, they want us to smoke more so they can raise more revenue from the habit. If the sin tax really deterred people enough from smoking or drinking the government would lose money.
You need to see “Thank You For Smoking” to understand the cynicism the gov’t hides behind. The state doesn’t care about us smoking or drinking as long as they can benefit from it.
Solution: let the state keep sin taxes. The state knows sin taxes don’t really change our behaviors and that’s why they keep raising the tax. I say let them keep doing it. This may deter the state from taxing our hard-earned incomes and punishing property and business owners.

Supposedly Illinois has one the of the lowest rates of state income tax. But I know that even the air is probably taxed in Chicago. Does the rest of the state have the higher taxes on everything else?

Quinn’s image is not on the coin however – although I suppose Scot could only use Illinois quarters …

Quitting, albeit the harder choice, seems the more obvious choice.
