• This "Ballotpedia Link" provides another cogent, impartial analysis of the subject
• Mayor Ben Johnson has opened a general discussion on his Facebook site.
• Here is an interesting article which claims that California's present tobacco taxation is lower than for 32 other states.  I think an implication in the argument is that, if Proposition 29 is defeated, California could, among other effects, remain a source for smuggling into other states, thereby neutralizing their efforts.*

*So as to not "cherry-pick" arguments for you, thereby introducing my still-evolving opinions into an article which is striving to be neutral, perhaps this Google link may be helpful toward your "voter homework."
