Tobacco; increase excise tax on all products except cigarettes.

Summary

The bill would increase the state excise tax on cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff and other tobacco products to 22.5% of the manufacturer’s list price, and impose a 1.87‑cent tax on each disposable heated‑tobacco unit. Cigarette taxes would remain at 3.4 cents per cigarette, with an automatic rise if the federal cigarette tax is reduced. The goal is to raise revenue and discourage use of non‑cigarette tobacco products.
