Suppose that in order to discourage people from smoking the government decides to place an excise tax on every pack of cigarettes sold. As a result of the tax, the supply of cigarettes decreases by 150 packs of cigarettes at each price.

$1.00 100
1.50 150
2.00 200

Graph the pre-tax market supply curve and graph the after-tax market supply curve.
