Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Lung Association: Ohio needs higher taxes on wholesale tobacco Health group says roll-your-own cigarettes and other wholesale sales are hurting kids by WKSU's MARANDA SHREWSBERRY |
 Reporter Maranda Shrewsberry | | |
 | | Hookah is one way wholesale tobacco sales in Ohio are growing | | Courtesy of publicdomainpictures.net | The American Lung Association wants Ohioans to hike taxes on all tobacco products – not just cigarettes – to cut back on tobacco use.
Ohio now tacks a $1.25 onto each pack of cigarettes and a nearly 20 percent tax on the wholesale price of tobacco products such as snuff, chew and cigars.
Shelly Kiser, a spokeswoman for the American Lung Association in Ohio, says the association wants to focus on raising taxes on those wholesale products because things like hookah and roll-your-own tobacco are becoming more popular with young people. |
“We don’t want people to start using and switching from cigarettes to this product instead of stopping. And also there’re youth-focused kind of products that come in strawberry, watermelon, bubblegum. ... They’re great youth starter products, unfortunately.”
Kiser says raising taxes could help Ohio create new tobacco prevention programs. The settlement with tobacco companies that had funded such programs has been redirected to cover other state expenses.
