Citizens tell stories about addiction at public hearing - WVPubcast.org

Citizens tell stories about addiction at public hearing - WVPubcast.org: "Del. Don Perdue, the chairman of the House Health and Human Resources Committee, proposes raising the tax on cigarettes by $1 a pack. He insists that the money raised could be used to treat West Virginia's growing drug and alcohol addiction problems. At a public hearing yesterday, tobacco industry lobbyists decried the tax increase. But ordinary citizens came to tell their own stories about addiction."
