State lawmakers aren't very optimistic that the public will support increasing tobacco taxes to pay for expanded health care coverage. Governor Sebelius wants to raise 50 million dollars to provide health care to 30,000 poor adults and 40,000 children. It would also subsidize health insurance for low-paid workers. To pay for it, Sebelius wants to up the state's cigarette tax by 50 cents to a $1.29 per pack. It would also increase taxes on chewing tobacco and other products. But House budget committee chairman Melvin Neufeld, a Republican from Ingalls, rates the chances of a tobacco tax increase as ``zero.'' He and others say the November elections showed votersdon't want higher taxes.
