Is Cigarette Tax a problem?

I've been reading and hearing a lot of opinions about the extra dollar per pack on cigarettes and it reminds me of what we were taught in school about how America first became a country of its own. The English were charging too much tax on tea and there was a term called taxation without representation.
Shouldn't we tax hamburgers, French fries, doughnuts and candy bars, and anything else fattening? Then we can tax things with too much salt or caffeine.
Do you see where this is going? You can't fairly tax one thing more than another, and the real problem is the budget and the lack of revenue and it's not fair to pick one group of the population to bail out the rest.
The government can't manage the budget with the taxes they have now and can't cut anymore then raise taxes on everything evenly.
