cigarette tax
Tobacco purchase surcharge
A cigarette tax is a levy imposed by governments on the sale of cigarettes, typically calculated per pack.
These taxes serve dual purposes: generating revenue and discouraging smoking through higher prices.
Cigarette taxes vary widely by jurisdiction and often stack—federal, state, and local governments may each impose their own: The city's cigarette tax adds another dollar per pack.
