Sure. I don’t drink or smoke, so it doesn’t affect me. And if it helps the state’s budget, I support it.
SHARON BOUDREAUX
Houma
It sucks that we have to pay more. I’m tired of them taxing us all the time. Go tax somebody else.
ERIN WHITE
Houma
No. It’s essentially a tax on the poor. They’re the ones who have to pay the most.
VICKI MARTIN
Houma
Absolutely. They could raise it up to 25 percent.
KENNETH DAIGLE
Houma
Yes. A lot of people that smoke and drink take advantage of the taxes meant for people who need help.
BETH DAIGLE
Houma
Yes. Those are things that are unhealthy for you, and taxpayers have to pay for that in healthcare costs down the road.
