Not to put his prints on it directly but Yes
Any change to the tax code has to be brought up in the House as a bill, passed and sent to the Senate. If passed there it then needs the Presidents signature . If he veto's, it needs 2/3 vote of House and Senate to pass.
SIN taxes are easy to get through as it only singles out certain actions or classes of citizens.
What happened here is the Prez set up a means of support for the S chip health program and the Democratic House came up with a means to fund it.

Yes read about OBamas Chicago buddy Stroger.
After this guy Stroger went if office he hired his family members.
Then raised everything there is to be raised.
Permits from 5 to 15 etc etc
Obama will do the same he started with Cigs because his liberal admirers hate them and would like that.
Wait till he taxes their porn and dirty peep shows.

Yes he is, and if every smoker stopped smoking today the dimocrats would not give up their windfall tax. They would just add another tax on all our nonsmoking a$$es to make up for the loss. Think about that!!

I think so, but since I don't smoke I haven't really heard where tax will go.

Oh get over it. The guy smokes himself so he is paying it too, ok.
Cigarettes are a luxury item. They are probabaly killing you and this is just not an issue.
Source(s): And yes I am a smoker...from a country where we are taxed so highly on cigarettes that a pack of Marlborough costs approximatey $10. So stop whining. I choose to smaoke..so do you. Why should someone pay ta on baby food and you get cigarettes levy free? User pays, remember? - ReverseSweepLv 71 decade ago

Good! I'm glad, if smokers want to keep polluting non smokers and children's lung with their addiction they can damn well pay the price.
