Summary:
|
|
Resolution #11/12-49 in support of the California Cancer Research Act which is on the June 2012 ballot would raise the state's tobacco tax by $1 per pack of cigarettes. If passed, this would provide more than $156 million annually to the state's existing tobacco control programs to prevent and reduce the use of tobacco. The $1 tax increase would prevent 228,000 children from becoming smokers in adulthood. |
