Tax-Hike On Chewing Tobacco, Cheap Cigars Expected To Reduce Use
The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids estimates that Maryland’s tax increases on smokeless tobacco and cheap cigars that began in July will cut the number of teens using those products by one third, according to a University of Maryland law school study being released today (Wednesday).
Actually tax revenues fall because people cross borders or buy smuggled products. Our own Controller says cigarette smuggling is widespread and lucrative. Tax revenues in VA are up, in DE not as far down as nationally. They thank this campaign and the greedy Democrats.

The American way, tax it until illegal products are cheaper.
