Nevada Voters Back Tobacco Tax Hike | Boise News

Published 3 weeks ago
Description

Nevada voters are sending a loud message: 63% support raising tobacco taxes, with backing from the American Cancer Society pushing lawmakers to act—especially as the state hasn’t updated its cigarette tax since 2015. Advocates want to double the tax and extend it to all tobacco products to curb use, particularly among youth and low-income groups, while funding prevention programs. Meanwhile, 85% say universal access to affordable cancer care is critical, and 91% agree families are struggling with rising healthcare costs—demanding action from elected officials before key legislative decisions this month.
