Its weird, I'm a legal product, but it's illegal to advertise me, in fact I am forced to advertise against smoking myself....The estimated weighted average state tax on me as of September 2004 was 76 cents per pack, and the federal government levies an additional 39 cents per pack. Federal, state and municipal excise taxes on cigarettes for the fiscal year ending June 2003 amounted to more than $19 billion.
Smokers make up about 22.3 percent of the U.S. adult population.
