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...

They release nicotine into the bloodstream through the skin, reducing withdrawal symptoms and slowly weaning smokers off nicotine. Nevada County was one of 34...

New Hampshire’s Irresponsibility On The Cigarettes Front

In a new fiscal adventure, Republicans in Concord this week voted to reduce cheap cigarettes taxes by a dime per pack of cigarettes. The thinking: Out-of-state smokers will flock to New Hampshire to load up on cheap smokes and, while they’re here, buy who knows what other products to bring about a retail boomlet.

The politicians, apparently taking the fictional part of Reaganomics for real, say that the tax cut will cause state revenues to grow. Time will tell. For what it’s worth, in a fiscal note to House Bill 156, where the tax cut originated, the Department of Revenue Administration predicts that state cheap cigarettes tax revenue in 2012 could fall by more than $7.5 million if the levy is cut from the current $1.78 per pack to $1.68.

But assume the Republicans are right in their expectations of more revenues. Does that make the tax cut the responsible thing they say it is?

It does not, for a larger reason. The tax cut strategy is to draw smokers from neighboring states that, unlike New Hampshire, are making an effort to discourage cigarettes consumption among their people on the grounds that smoking cigarettes is a public health menace; the New Hampshire strategy would reduce the flow of cigarette tax dollars to those states, which run cigarettes-education programs. Here are the facts:

> Vermont, which levies a tax of $2.24 per pack, is spending $4.5 million of its own money this year on anti-smoking cigarettes programs for its citizens.

> Massachusetts, which levies a tax of $2.51 per pack, is spending $4.5 million of its own money on anti-smoking cigarettes programs for its citizens.

> Maine, which levies a tax of $2 per pack, is spending $9.9 million of its own money on anti-smoking cigarettes programs for its citizens.

> New Hampshire, which may soon have a tax of $1.68 per pack, spends zero dollars of its own money on anti-smoking cigarettes programs, though annually 1,700 of its adults die from smoking cigarettes-related illnesses and many more Granite Staters are exposed to cheap smokes smoke. The only money spent in this state to discourage smoking cigarettes comes from the hated feds: $1 million this year from the Centers for Disease Control to draft anti-smoking cigarettes policies and messages, plus about $800,000 from the federal stimulus to help fund such things as a telephone-based service for people who want to quit smoking cigarettes, in addition to $56,815 from last year’s heath reform bill to discourage pregnant women from smoking cigarettes.

There you have it. New Hampshire, which ranks dead last among all states in trying to reduce smoking cigarettes among its own citizens, sees a fiscal bounty in robbing other states of the resources that they would use to minimize the danger of the habit among their citizens. That’s responsible?
