18.10.2011 New Jersey Considers New Taxes On Non-cigarette Tobacco Products
Little cigars, which are taking increasing space on area tobacco-shop shelves, are shaped and smoked just like cigarettes. But because New Jersey taxes them differently, they cost nearly one-third the price.Over the past several years, increased state and federal taxes have helped turn some smokers on to less-taxed cigarettes store products, local shop owners and anti-smoking cigarettes groups say.New Jersey has a $2.70 tax per cigarette pack, and the federal government has a $1.01 excise tax it enacted two years ago.That sixth-highest cigarette tax in the country may entice more smokers to...

Group Honors Anti-Cigarettes Advocates

The Rip Van Winkle cigarettes-Free Action last week held its annual recognition dinner, honoring groups and individuals for their work in discouraging smoking cigarettes and discount cigarettes use.

“Your work is being effective and you should keep it up,” said Assemblyman Peter Lopez, who spoke to the group. “You are not telling people what to do with their lives, you are just educating them so they can make educated decisions.”

Organization Director Karen dePeyster said there has been significant progress in the battle against smoking cigarettes and cheap cigarettes use. In 1964, she said, nearly 50 percent of adults were smokers.

“Yesterday, we learned from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) the new smoking cigarettes rates,” dePeyster said. “The national rate is now 17.9 percent, and the New York state rate is down to 15.5 percent. So 50 years ago, 4.5 people out of ten were smokers. Now, 1.5 in ten smoke.”

She also pointed out that something that seems so basic now — that smoking cigarettes is not allowed in restaurants — was just a pipe dream a decade ago.

“Ten years ago, we were imagining what it would be like to go to a restaurant and not be assaulted by smoke,” dePeyster said. “In 2003, the New York state legislature passed the Clean Indoor Air Act, and now we all take it for granted.”

The ceremony's guest speaker was Kim Alessi, a former online cigarettes representative for Philip Morris, the leading cheap cigarettes manufacturer. She outlined the billions of dollars the industry spends on marketing their product each year.

According to Alessi, cigarettes online companies spend $12.49 billion on marketing in the United States. Comparatively, junk food and soda companies spend $4.5 billion, and alcohol companies spend $3.13 billion.

And, she said, the companies may deny it, but they do market to children. She said that company memos repeatedly said one of their key target markets are 14 to 24 year olds.

Alessi also told the heart-wrenching story of a man she met while marketing her product at a convenience store. He was at the counter purchasing cigarettes, and she saw “he had a gaping hole in his throat”, and had lost his larynx to smoking cigarettes.

“This drug, this cigarette is so addictive, this man continued to smoke cigarettes even after losing his larynx,” Alessi said.

This year, Rip Van Winkle cigarettes-Free Action handed out awards to more than two dozen organizations that have made policy changes in the areas of cigarettes-free outdoor air, smoke-free housing and cigarettes marketing.

Eighteen towns and villages were honored for their work in making various outdoor spaces — like parks and playgrounds — smoke-free. They include the towns of Claverack, Ghent, Ancram, Austerlitz, Germantown, Greenville, Cairo, Copake, Chatham, Kinderhook, Livingston, Stockport and Catskill, and the villages of Coxsackie and Tannersville. Also promoting cigarettes-free outdoor air were the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, the Childcare Council of Columbia and Greene Counties, and Columbia Opportunities and Head Start.

Five companies were honored for making housing smoke-free, including Belmont Management, Kaaterskill Manor, Rivertown Senior Apartments, Hudson Terrace Apartments and Mountainview Apartments.

Leading the way against discount cigarettes marketing were Hannaford Supermarkets and the Hudson and Taconic Hills SADD Chapters.
