BILL NUMBER:S3193 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to increasing the tax imposed upon the sale or use of cigarettes; and to amend the state finance law, in relation to the tobacco use prevention and control program fund PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To increase from $4.35/$6.00, the state tax on a pack of cigarettes, and provides that such increase shall be used for tobacco use prevention and control. JUSTIFICATION: An increase in the cigarette tax in New York State from $4.35 to $6.00 would be used as a means to deter individuals from smok- ing. Research shows that a 25% increase in the cost of a pack of ciga- rettes causes' a decline in purchases by approximately 11%. New York increased its tax on cigarettes from $2.75 per pack to $4.35 per pack in 2010. As cigarette taxes have increased in New York, the state's success in curbing smoking has similarly increased. Between 2000 and 2010, the New York city high-school smoking rate has declined from approximately 27% to only 12.6%. Despite such as impressive decline, it is estimated that more than 25,000 New Yorkers die of tobacco-caused diseases every year. The money from this tax increase will not be used to balance the budget this year, but rather will be placed into a dedicated fund to be used
