Voters should care about this bill because it will lead to higher prices for almost all tobacco and nicotine products, including vaping supplies. This could impact the budgets of millions of Americans who use these products. If passed, the bill is expected to raise significant revenue for the federal government. For public health, supporters believe that making tobacco and nicotine products more expensive could discourage use, especially among young people, potentially leading to fewer tobacco-related illnesses and deaths.
If this bill becomes law, the cost of smoking, vaping, and using smokeless tobacco will increase, and the federal government will collect more tax revenue from these products. If it doesn't pass, the current, varied tax rates will remain, meaning products like pipe tobacco, some smokeless tobacco, and nicotine for vaping will continue to be taxed at significantly lower rates than traditional cigarettes, or not at all in the case of standalone nicotine.
