Is tobacco tax a progressive tax?
Regressive as it is hoped that the raising of them causes less purchases of the product, so less tax could be raised. Hopefully, the same $ would still be spent on another taxable item.
Progressive as the lessening of smoking will lower society health costs and the need to fund medical programs.
Answer:In economics, a progressive tax is defined as one in which the effective tax rate increases as the taxable base amount increases. In most cases, the base amount may be income or expenditure. Strictly speaking, consumption taxes are neither progressive nor regressive, since their rates do not vary with the amount of expenditure.However, a less rigorous definition of the taxable base might be the taxpayer's ability to pay. Under that definition, consumption taxes, like taxes on gasoline, alcohol and cigarettes, are perceived as regressive, since a greater proportion of the expenditures of individuals with lower income goes to paying the taxes.

I guess if your nasal cavity has eroded to the point that it's a gaping cavern capable of inhaling a smartie without it even touching the sides then you don't have to worry about it, unless it gets stuck up there or lands in your esophagus and asphyxiates you.
Just blow your nose, it should start to feel better! If you are experiencing EXTREME pain, see a doctor...

Can you die from eating cigarettes?
A cigarette can kill you, by filling your lungs with smoke, which blackens the lungs, narrowing it and eventually causing cancer.
Lung cancer is deadly, and is caused mostly by either inhaling smoke by smoking, or by being with or near someone who is smoking.
That is called second hand smoke. Smoking in a car with a baby in the back, is filling that babies lungs with cancerous smoke. leaving the baby open to getting lung cancer when they become adults.

ANSWER
I'm a smoker and I really do enjoy the taste of tobacco and I think most smokers do, but I also think smoking helps relax smokers too. I'd be the first to say my nerves are a bit raveled.
Some people started smoking cigarettes when the researchers didn't have that much information available and they didn't realize how bad smoking really is. Alot of people (teenagers) smoke because they want to "fit in" and they think it is "cool". A portion of people who smoke, smoke just because it makes them feel good. Others like the taste, or the feeling they get when they smoke cigarettes. People sometimes even smoke to help them stay alert.
This is a good question. Almost all people who smoke are addicted to it (due to the nicotine) even after a few cigarettes, their bodies telling them they need it.
Can you chew tobacco after a dental extraction?
you could if its soft gum but i wouldn't recommend it right away maybe a few days after the socket has stopped bleeding...because you may cause excessive bleeding if you chew gum and the blood will give it an awful taste

How does the nicotine kill you or what does it do to kill you?
The nicotine is basically the compound in tobacco that keeps a person addicted. The tar is what will line the insides of your lungs and kills the alveoli. The rat poison in the tobacco product is what attacks your heart.
This has happened to me before, but mostly when I've "dipped" more than once. Unless you've swallowed tobacco juice, it just might be that the buzz is too strong for you.
Take it slow to learn how to handle tobacco.
How do chemicals in cigarettes affect the cilia in the trachea?
Cigarette smoke irritates cells in the bronchi and this irritation triggers special cells to produce a layer of mucus designed to trap the foreign particles irritating the cells. This layer of mucus is then suppose to be swept away by the Cilia, though the tar found in cigarette smoke slows the action of the cilia. This tar accumulates in the mucus layer, because the cilia are not able to respond due to the presence of this tar. In conclusion, the mucus layer will gradually grow over time because the cilia will not be able to sweep away the accumulated foreign particles.

At what age is it illegal to possess tobacco?
There is no federal law prohibiting the possession of tobacco, no matter what the age. These laws are left completely up to local authorities. For example, up until about two years ago minors where allowed to legally carry and smoke tobacco in the township in which I live, but now the township has imposed a law prohibiting the possession of tobacco for minors. So you see it is all local laws, and they are all different everywhere.
my question is regarding proof of age. If I am of age to purchase but I have an expired drivers licience, can I use an expired id for proof of age in the state of texas, or is that a judgment call left to the retailer.

What does tobacco do to blood vessels?
First, it contains tar. Tar is a sticky black substances that when it is inhaled, gets stuck in the cilia of your throat and lungs. The body can normally get rid of it somewhat well except for that fact that cigarettes also have formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is the chemical used to preserve dead organisms (like a frog you would dissect in middle school). This causes the tar to stay stuck and preserved in your lungs and throat.
Next, it contains hundred of chemicals and compounds such as rat poison and carbon monoxide (both pretty toxic stuff).
Next, the nicotine gets you addicted and affects the way your neurons work in your brain and throughout your body. Not only that, but nicotine is a stimulant and a depressant. This is what makes its effects so powerful. It constrict blood vessels so blood may not get to your extremities as fast or efficient. Constricted blood vessel with blood cells coated in tar increases your risk for strokes and heart attacks. Lastly, lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, and heart disease (the number one killer in America) are all directly linked to smoking.
It constricts the blood vessels, clogs the breathing passages, increases heart rate and blood pressure, turns teeth yellow, gives bad breath, suppresses the appetite so as to inhibit proper nutrition, and turns your fingernails brown.
Tobacco can create a tar like substance in your lungs, causing aesthma and to a larger extent, lung cancer. However, cigarettes are an entirely different matter, and contain chemicals that can do a variety of damage.
How can using tobacco impact the social life of a tobacco user?
First of all the Government makes a lot of money from high tobaco taxes. Smokers get some of this back as a result of their smoke related ilneses. Cigaretebuts carelesly droped around the streets have a negative effect on the environment, as a mater of fact they can kill some aquatic animals. cigarete buts are unsightly laying al over the streets where smokers drop them. Public utilitys where smoking is permited are always damaged as a result of careles smokers. babys with smoking mothers stand a greater chance of health problems in their development.
