Congress is talking about raising cigarette taxes again by as much as $6.10 per carton. But as smokers know, cigarettes are already one of the most highly taxed products in the country today. In fact, since the year 2000, state and federal cigarette excise taxes have been increased over 73 times – driving up the average price of cigarettes over 80%.
Everyone should pay their share of taxes, but a federal tax increase on cigarettes is an unfair burden on smokers – especially when these taxes fund a wide–range of expanding government programs that benefit everyone. And as cigarette sales decline it’s an unreliable source of revenue.
Singling out smokers for a 156% increase in the federal cigarette excise tax is going too far – tell Congress enough is enough.
