</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[You were very opinionated on the weekend when we asked, "The American Lung Association has given the federal government a "D" rating for the $1.01 tax on a pack of cigarettes. To get a rating of "A" from the group, the tax would need to be $2.68 a pack. ...should tobacco taxes be increased?"

Ninety-three of you voted and 57 percent said "NO." The weekend poll can be found at www.dailyregister.com/homepage/x1820921513/Weekend-Poll-for-January-15-2010
