Why Cigarette Prices Should be Tripled

Papa died of lung cancer at the young age of 49, and although Mama said it might be due to his work in the mines, I've seen Papa smoking ever since I understood what it was - so he has been inhaling all those poison into his body since he was a young man.

That's why I'm a staunch supporter for things that would compel people to stop smoking! So after reading this article, I not only support the move that cigarette prices be increased by 5 pesos each, I suggest they be priced three times their current price!  The article says some eye-opening facts and by increasing the price by that much, more of the poor will have reason enough to cut this unhealthy habit.  After all, they are the ones prone to suffer more when the effects of this habit kicks in as one grows older.
