Durbin, Wyden, Krishnamoorthi, Colleagues Introduce Bicameral Bill To Reduce Tobacco Use In America
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care Drugs
"Loopholes in our tax code continue to favor big tobacco while the American public, especially our youth, pays the price. The Tobacco Tax Equity Act increases taxes on cigarettes and finally imposes taxes on the e-cigarettes hooking our children on nicotine, which would generate billions of dollars in federal revenue. As a father of a high schooler and middle schooler, I'm determined to make sure we end the youth nicotine and vaping epidemic."
