Most people are seeing the tax hike in Florida as a positive thing. Non-smokers feel that this is the best way to get smokers to give up their bad habit.
Taxes on cigarettes jumped by $1 per pack recently, and the general consensus is that now smokers will feel the pressure on their health AND their pockets. At this point, a carton of cigarettes costs about $23.50, which is a lot of money in times like these.
Most smokers are very aware of the fact that by quitting they would be helping their friends and family, but it is not that easy. Quitting is a huge task and can be extremely difficult.
It is important for non-smokers to remember that they need to be supportive, and that by attacking smokers they are not being all that helpful.
