Bill > S03544

This bill increases the state excise tax on cigarettes in New York. Specifically, it amends the state's tax law to raise the tax on a pack of 20 cigarettes from $4.35 to $6.24. The bill is intended to impose the tax on all cigarettes sold in the state, with some exceptions for sales to qualified Native American tribes and the military. The increased tax aims to discourage smoking and generate additional revenue for the state.
