Cigarette Tax Increased to Keep New York Running

Green Nicotine Electronic Cigarette Smokefree Budget Interview

ALBANY — New Yorkers who like to smoke will have to dig a little deeper to light up next month, after the Legislature passed a bill on Monday that will give the state the highest cigarette taxes in the country.

NYC: Taxes for Your Health.

Nathaniel Brooks for The New York Times:

Kevin S. Parker of Brooklyn and the other 31 Democrats in the State Senate all voted to increase the tax by $1.60 a pack.
The new law, part of an emergency budget measure to keep the government running, adds another $1.60 in state taxes to every cigarette pack sold starting on July 1, pushing the average price of a pack to about $9.20.

The average price in New York City, which imposes its own cigarette taxes, will be even higher, nearly $11 a pack.

Those who prefer other tobacco products will also be forced to pay significantly more.

The tax on smokeless tobacco will more than double, to $2 an ounce from 96 cents an ounce, starting on Aug. 1. And the wholesale tax on cigars, dips and other kinds of tobacco will rise to 75 percent from 46 percent .

And in what may be the legislation’s most controversial provisions, starting on Sept. 1, the state will begin collecting — or try to collect — taxes on cigarettes sold on Indian reservations to off-reservation visitors, an issue that led to violent protests during the early 1990s.

One Indian chief has said that trying to collect taxes would be considered an act of war…

Nicotine fit: Wife jumps from moving vehicle because husband won’t stop for smokes, police say

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

COE TWP. — A Shepherd woman is being treated for head trauma at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids after leaping from a pickup because her husband refused to stop for her to purchase cigarettes about 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Isabella County sheriff’s officials said.

Jacklin L. Faber, 51, was the passenger in a GMC Sierra pickup driven by Michael E. Faber, 54, of Shepherd, and according to sheriff’s officials, when Michael Faber refused to stop for his wife to purchase cigarettes, Jacklin Faber “decided to jump out of the pickup while it was traveling down the road” on South Shepherd Road, south of Federal in Coe Township.

Sheriff’s officials said Michael Faber realized his wife’s intentions just before she jumped and was able to slow the vehicle to between 10 mph and 15 mph before she leapt.

Jacklin Faber suffered head injuries and was transported to Central Michigan Community Hospital and later airlifted by helicopter to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids for treatment.

Jacklin Faber was listed in critical condition at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids as of 2 p.m. Monday.

Electronic Cigarettes and Illinois

Friday, April 30th, 2010

In light of recent events, GreenNicotine will be opening a new location in Illinois next week. Representatives there have decided to let their citizens have the right to choose electronic cigarettes as an alternative to traditional tobacco. Clearly, the voice of the people there have been heard. GreenNicotine would like to thank the lawmakers of Illinois for reconsidering there attempt to ban e-cigarettes. We firmly believe electronic cigarette companies should abide by strict marketing guidelines (no sale of fruit flavors that may market toward children, no sales to non-smokers for personal use, no sales to individuals under the legal smoking age in their state, etc…). Smokeless cigarettes are helping people and those around them. It is our goal to ensure this is only an alternative used by “die hard” smokers.
