Pass legislation that prevents people from purchasing cigarettes and alcohol with any type of EBT Benefits

Created by J.W. on January 08, 2013

I have read cases that people are using food stamp and government assistance to purchase tobacco and alcohol products. As a tax payer, this information disturbs me; especially since I have to pay more taxes to support these system abusers. These programs were created to help people bounce back, but instead they are being used to support bad habits.
