A Decatur reader argues taxes on cigarettes are excessive and burdensome. He notes a 20 cent per package price with 60 cents in federal and state taxes, plus 25 to 35 dollars in local taxes, yielding slim profits and calls for officials to cut expenses rather than raise taxes. He highlights a 40,000 cigarette threshold before any profit is earned.
