Cigarette Taxes
Some statistics lie, but others tell the blunt truth:
Tax on a Pack of Cigarettes in:
Denmark | —————————————> $3.88 |
Norway | ———————————–> $3.45 |
U.K. | ———————————> $3.27 |
Sweden | —————————-> $2.80 |
Germany | ———————–> $2.26 |
Canada | ——————–> $1.95 |
France | ——————–> $1.94 |
Holland | ——————-> $1.82 |
Australia | —————–> $1.67 |
Japan | ————-> $1.32 |
Italy | ————-> $1.31 |
U.S. | —–> .56 |
I came upon this while filing some old stuff — the figures are dated January 17, 1995, and will have changed somewhat, with currency fluctuations if nothing else. For more up-to-date statistics, and a whole bunch of other stuff, try The Smoking Cessation Location.
Quote of the Day
This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.
