Cigarette Price Hike / myLot

I just heard from the news that there's a possibility that there would be a cigarette price hike due to the possible increase of tax for the cigarette/tobacco products. I am not aware when it would be implemented or if it was approved already. Are you in favor of this? Personally i'm favor of this because i am not a smoker. i easily get allergic to cigar smoke. i hate the smell of it and i can tell if a person smokes or not (bad breath, yellow teeth due to nicotine). How about you smokers? Are you planning to stop this vice of smoking because of this? or you can still allot a budget just to sustain your vice?

What?! Another one? I should buy stock! Ofcourse I am not in favor of this. Why don't they just BAN it entirely? Oh no! I hope they won't do that

Yes finally the law I've been waiting for. Sometimes when i get into one of the jeepney and someone sitting beside me is smoking I feel like giving him 2 pesos just for not smoking beside me knowing that it is prohibited to smoke in public utility vehicles.
