-Cigarette tax hike just what Florida needs to fix ailing economy, public health
By Rep. James W. "Jim" Waldman
A recent letter to the editor regarding the proposed increase to the cigarette tax significantly mischaracterized the effect of my proposal (HB-11) to increase the state cigarette tax by $1 per pack, that being to save lives, reduce teenage smoking and reduce the state's long-term cost of providing medical care for smokers. The writer also postulated that many Floridians would choose to "smuggle" trailer loads of cigarettes in from bordering states with lower per-pack taxes or exclusively purchase at Indian reservation stores. Nonsense! No such evidence or studies have been presented to the Legislature. To say nothing of the fact that anyone living south of Tallahassee would first pay a fortune in gas to even get near the first Georgia or Alabama store.
