Voters in California asked to approve increase in cigarette taxes
Posted: Monday, June 4, 2012
Voters in California are being asked to approve an increase in tobacco taxes.
Proposition 29 increases the tax on a pack of cigarettes by $1. The average price for a pack is $5.71, The New York Times reported.
The tobacco industry has spent $47 million in opposition to the proposition amid polls that show a majority of voters support the increase.
The vote takes place tomorrow.
If approved, the proposition will raise taxes on other tobacco products, in addition to the $1 hike on pack of cigarettes.
