Best Answer

Tobacco is a back-bone agricultural product for many states in the southern part of the US, without which many people, counties and state economies would suffer dramatically.

It has also been said that tax on tobacco is such a significant component of tax revenue throughout the US, that without it, all local economies would also suffer dramatically.

In sum, tobacco is a major money maker for all the members of its distribution channel.
