Let me start by saying that I use tobacco products and hope that no person young or old starts the habit. But our elected officials' decision to add another $1.25 in tax per pack of cigarettes shows that they cannot do their jobs. Raising taxes for vehicle registrations or on malt liquor, which would be unpopular, was not an acceptable option, according to Times Union stories.

The state Health Department recently ran an advertisement in the Times Union suggesting that parents and other consumers call on all supermarkets to end sales of tobacco products, as many have already done.
