In our case the majority is against Prop 29. Our record for raising the price on a pack of cigarettes is 14-0. 14 wins for Big Tobacco. Because the tobacco industry uses millions of dollars to pay and lobby against it. Their latest supporter is Tom Robinson, president of Robinson Oil, one of the largest oil companies in the US.
So, you have Big Oil and Big Tobacco on one hand. And the American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, and American Heart Association on the other. In this case, choosing the underdog is a no brainer.
