yet more reasons for a robust taxation on tobaccos.

Almost all of the states want to both tax cigarettes and discourage their use. These are conflicting aims.

I think most want steep taxes in order to discourage their use, not for revenue. So same aim.

Could be true in some cases. I know for a fact that here in Minnesota, Pawlenty hates raising taxes so he imposed a "fee" on tobacco products to balance the state budget.
