$11 a Pack for Cigarettes in New York City?
Yikes! Did you know that as of July 1, 2010, an additional state tax of $1.60 was added to every pack of cigarettes 
sold in New York? That raised the state tax to $4.35 per pack, making New York’s state tax on cigarettes the highest in the U.S.
But wait, there’s more! If you buy cigarettes in New York City you have to pay an additional municipal tax of $1.50 per pack, bringing the grand total to $5.85 per pack in taxes alone.
Add to that the cost of the cigarettes themselves and it can cost as much as $11 per pack in NYC.
Smoking is Forbidden in Some Muslim Areas
According to a report by the Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation (June 26, 2010), the Supreme Council of Darul Ifta of the Philippines in Cotabato City has joined moves initiated by the Department of Health (DoH) to curb smoking in the country with the release of an Islamic religious ruling or fatwa recently.
The latest ruling approved unanimously by the council and signed by Grand Mufti Sheikh Omar Pasigan states that smoking cigarettes is now considered “haram or forbidden.”
“Smoking is forbidden in the Sharia’h or Islamic Jurisprudence because of it being filthy, containing numerous harmful chemicals. Almighty Allah has permitted only good things for his servants such as food, drinks and other lawful ones,” the fatwa said.
The ruling said “no Muslim may manufacture, buy, sell, trade or promote tobacco since these actions represent aiding someone in committing a sin.”
