State looking to smokers to finance health care law
A $1 increase would bring it to $6.41, or about 32 cents per cigarette. Harwich resident Carol Hughes said the price hike wouldn't keep her from smoking. "I won't stop, but I would have to smoke less," she said, working at a Christy's in Dennisport on Route 28. Hughes said she used to smoke 10 packs a week, but as state taxes have risen, she's reduced it to five packs a week. "To me, they are forcing you to stop smoking," Hughes said.
Driven by health careThe cost of the state's new health care law is driving the cigarette tax debate. Since last year, 300,000 state residents have signed up for private or state subsidized health care plans. Gov. Deval Patrick proposed spending $400 million more on health care in the 2009 fiscal budget, in part as a result of rising enrollment in the state's subsidized health insurance programs.

Part of it is convenience: Paper bags simply fit better in Hofstad's kitchen garbage can. But Hofstad also deplores the environmental fallout of ubiquitous plastic film. .
