State Rep. Bill Daughtridge (R-Nash) arguing in the legislature last week against raising North Carolina's 5-cent-per-pack cigarette tax. Daughtridge insisted that if the tax were raised, cigarette sales would move across the border to South Carolina and harm commerce along major highways in North Carolina.
