On the recordMay 20, 1998

The Senator before said that $1,600 a year that the person would pay in additional taxes would prevent them from having the ability to spend it on food and clothing, et cetera. But, eventually, over a period of time that would be a cost which does not exist altogether for a million teenagers, and they would, therefore, be able to exchange the money not used to buy cigarettes, if they were able to close out on the smoking addiction, to be used for other things; is that not true?
