Talking Points
- 74 % of likely voters strongly favor the increase in the tobacco tax when part of the revenue is dedicated to programs to reduce tobacco use and to health care reform.
- An increase of a dollar means 46,000 fewer kids ever picking up the habit and would lead to more than 26,000 adult smokers quitting.
-
Facts from other states show that an increase in tobacco taxes will dramatically increase the demand for cessation services.
-
We need adequate funding to provide Massachusetts residents with tobacco prevention and cessation programs.
