Poll: Do You Support an Additional Cigarette Tax?

Proposition 29 would add $1 to the cost of a pack of cigarettes.

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network donated $1 million to the campaign for Prop 29 today, which would raise the price of a pack of cigarettes in California by $1 if voters pass it on June 5.

The $1 tax, which would be on top of the 87 cents in cigarette tax Californians already pay per pack, would go toward cancer research, smoking cessation programs and youth smoking prevention.

Do you support the additional tax, or do you think cigarettes are taxed enough already? Vote in the poll below.
