Will the cigarette tax stop people from smoking?

I think that the tax on cigarettes is a good thing. I think it will get a lot of people to stop smoking. To other people they will not stop, though. I think it will effect people who have just started smoking or havent been smoking for a long time. I think it will effect tem the most because of the raise in cost and the fact that they havent had them a long time will get them to stop. On the other hand I think that people who have been smoking for a long time will not be effected by it as much because they have been smoking for a long time and they are not going to give it up just because of a raise in price.
