PIn the US theya re called Property Taxes. They are used LOCALLY not nationally or even satewide. And mostly they are used to fund the school budget in most areas. So the cigarette atxes has no baring on that.

Well of the 42 cents in increased cig tax 40 cents is going to be used for k-12education and 2 cents is being used for funding of trauma centers. As I said a higher tax leads to less smoking this is proven fact. The less you smoke the easier it becomes to quit. Also reduces the damage you do.
