Taxes Hit US Cigarette Industry
Taxes Hit US Cigarette Industry

After a series of regulations and tax increases applied on cigarettes, the number of smokers has massively decreased and the cigarette industry has been affected. As a result, local retailers across the country are reporting that they are selling less than half of the number of cigarettes that they used to sell before the new tax laws.

Tobacco-Free Kids, a non-profit organization in Washington D. C., published a report on its website, saying that the new tax laws are highly efficient. It added, “Every single state that has raised its cigarette tax rate has subsequently received more tax revenue than they would have received without a rate increase”.

However, with Green Smoke™ offering its unique product, the electronic cigarette, experts are sure that the low retail period would be expanded. According to the researches, the majority of the smokers, who intend on quitting, find it hard to get over the nicotine flavor, even if they got over the nicotine effect on their lungs.

Green Smoke’s electronic cigarettes produce smoke, give the flavor of nicotine and do not harm the lungs, and consequently become quitters’ best choice against tobacco. However, it has not been confirmed whether the e-cigarettes would comply with the cigarette regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration.
