tobacco taxes

Smoking product duties

Tobacco taxes are levies imposed on cigarettes, cigars, and other tobacco products.

Governments use them both to generate revenue and to discourage smoking by raising prices.

The taxes are typically passed on to consumers: Tobacco taxes here are so high that people drive across state lines to buy cigarettes.
