It's time to increase the federal cigarette tax
Tobacco use will kill nearly 500,000 Americans this year alone.
Tobacco use will kill nearly 500,000 Americans this year alone.
The evidence is clear:
- Tobacco use is the #1 cause of preventable death in the U.S.
- A 10% increase in cigarette cost is proven to lead to a 6% reduction in youth smoking
- This year, tobacco use will result in more than $96 billion in health care costs
I call on Congress to choose people over tobacco companies and support a $1 increase in the federal cigarette tax.
Thank You!
