There is a concern that there could be a potential renormalization of smoking, said Michael Ong, associate professor at UCLAs David Geffen School of Medicine
If the federal government doubles taxes on a pack of 20 cigarettes, and this increase were passed on to consumers, state governments would in aggregate raise roughly $689 million less in revenue from excise taxes on cigarettes in the first full year after implementation.[19] In addition, when taxpayers pay more in tobacco taxes, they pay less in other taxes like income and payroll taxes
For example, here at White Cloud, we recognized the issues with selling electronic cigarettes online long before the implementation of local and state laws regulating the purchasing age (we even included a We Card sign and checked IDs at our mall kiosks from the very beginning, even though there were no laws set in place telling us to do so)
If we give them less, theyll buy less, and the competitor will get our market. From a messaging perspective, researchers say that anti-tobacco efforts helped the public health community learn that focusing on individual choices is not a winning strategy
