Days After Session Ends, A Push For Higher Tobacco Taxes
Two days after the 2014 Session of the Maryland General Assembly ended, groups supporting an increase in the state's cigarette tax are thinking about next year.
Members of Maryland Health Care for All and the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids held a news conference in Annapolis today asking incumbent lawmakers and challengers running for the Maryland General Assembly to sign a pledge, promising they'll vote for a $1 increase in the state's cigarette tax if elected.
The tax was last increased in the special legislative session of 2007. It currently stands at $2-per pack of cigarettes. MORE
People who are going to smoke will smoke no matter what the price is. some people I know have switched to those small cigars which aparently are not effected by the cigarette tax.They'll kill you quicker but there's no convincing them of that,they inhale just the same. It's a shame.
