This only applies to the city of Minneapolis. So while cigarette taxes are already regarded as being regressive, this tax is even more regressive because it's going to hurt those who don't have easy transportation outside of city limits

It's kinda funny because George Floyd was being arrested for trying to buy cigs with a fake $20 bill. Maybe they're hoping for more of that. Also this is one of the dumbest things I've read in a while:

“We talked with people and asked if they ever bought something they didn’t need and didn’t really want because it was such a good deal? Everyone said they had. One guy said he has a closet full of shoes he doesn’t need. Two for one deals and money off may make someone think they are getting a good deal. That is probably not a huge problem if it is shoes, but when it is an addictive product and people are trying to quit, it is a big deal. Minneapolis took a big step forward in stopping the tobacco industry from using price to get people to start using tobacco and undermine people’s resolution to quit.”

There's a mountain of evidence which proves that people stop using something they're addicted to when they can no longer afford it. Another great bill by liberals!
