Smokers tapped to pay for new health plan
A new health insurance plan for the working poor, funded by a 44-cent increase in the cigarette tax, was approved late Sunday by the state legislature.
The House voted to pass the plan 70-29, with the Senate voting 37-13 minutes later to do the same, sending the bill to the governor to be signed into law.
