Just picked up three "logs" of Copenhagen for a friend that did not want to brave Costco.
Just under a C-note for the chew... and $30 in tax?!?!
Made me realize how happy I am not chewing... but that seems like a serious screwing for a sin tax.

Thanks Sister Sarah!
I don't know how anyone can consider that woman a conservative.
Intellectual honesty is the most important character trait in human beings.

I don't know how anyone can consider that woman a conservative. Her gas tax was worse, but that is because the tobacco tax does not cost me anything...

Don't know about chew but for smokes it's $1.33 for a pack of 20 here in Oregon. Near every time the state needs money, they pile on a bit more. Mostly taxing folks that can least afford it.

Was curious so I looked up Alcohol taxes... https://www.salestaxhandbook.com/alaska/alcohol Alaska Liquor, Wine, and Beer Taxes In addition to (or instead of) traditional sales taxes, alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, and liquor are subject to excise taxes on both the Alaska and Federal levels. Excise taxes on alcohol are implemented by every state, as are excises on cigarettes and motor fuels like gasoline. Excise taxes are applied on a per-unit basis, generally per gallon for liquids, and unlike sales taxes are collected from the merchant who sells the alcohol rather than the end consumer. However, in almost all cases, excise taxes are passed on directly to the consumer in the form of raised alcohol prices. Other Alaska Excise Taxes: Alcohol Tobacco Fuel Alaska Alcohol Sales Taxes 2020Current Alaska Alcohol Excise Tax Rates Alaska has some of the highest state taxes on alcohol in the United States The primary excise taxes on alcohol in Alaska are on wine, beer, and liquor (which includes most types of hard alcohol). Alaska Wine sales tax rate Ranked 1st highest Alaska Wine Tax - $2.50 / gallon ✕ Alaska's general sales tax of <span class='text-muted'>N/A</span> does not apply to the purchase of wine.

That (alcohol tax) was Liiisa’s go-to for revenue when she was in the state house.
