End of Summer Summary
So far in 2009, new federal taxes and regulations as well as state excise tax proposals have presented many challenges for tobacco wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and adult tobacco consumers. While the losses in Washington, D.C., were disappointing, we have many successes to celebrate. So far this year, 102 bills to raise cigarette taxes have been introduced in 26 states and the District of Columbia. Of those, only 13 states and DC have passed cigarette excise tax increases.
Your willingness to engage and become involved was one of the primary reasons most of these tax increase proposals did not become law. Thank you for using NoCigTax.com to educate yourselves on the issues and send almost 100,000 advocacy messages to federal and state governments. Next year will also present many challenges and opportunities. But together we can make a difference!
