75 Saves Lives
Sign Now
Please support a 75 cent increase in the cigarette excise tax. North Carolina now has the lowest excise tax in the United States.
We urgently need a higher excise tax to reduce youth tobacco use. A 75-cent increase in a pack of cigarettes would reduce youth smoking by 17.3\%. A significant increase in the tax will lead to long-term health care savings. Currently, the average household in our state pays an additional $500 in health care costs due to smoking-related illnesses.
Governor Easley has included an excise tax increase in his proposed state budget for next year. A 75-cent tax would generate much needed revenue to balance the our budget.
We are confident you will make the right decision and support a 75 cent increase in the cigarette excise tax.
