Wis Cigarettes, a buck more
Wisconsin smokers will soon get hit with a $1.oo tax added for each pack they purchase.
It seems that Wisconsin's cigarette tax becomes the 12-highest in the nation. This hike will have the tax going from .77 to a whopping 1.77 per pack now.
Some that will benefit from the tax hike will be across the border in Lake County Illinois. At least in our area down here by they border. Many of Wisconsites that live down here live here and work in Illinois. They are estimating the Illinois retailers will have many new customers from Wisconsin that will simply start buying their smokes on the way to work once they get into Illinois rather than closer to home.
