Commentary: Increased taxes help fight tobacco addiction
philly.com- Septiembre 26 de 2016 – EEUU
The use of tobacco products remains the number one cause of preventable death in the United States. Here in Philadelphia, more than 2,000 people die of tobacco-related illness every year. Pennsylvania's new $1-per-pack tax on cigarettes, along with the commonwealth's first taxes on e-cigarettes, roll-your-own, and smokeless tobacco, are important steps toward reversing this epidemic.

Higher education leaders drop plans for cigarette tax hike
newsobserver.com – 30 de Noviembre de 2015 – EEUU
Missouri higher education leaders have dropped plans for a potential 2016 ballot measure that would have raised cigarette taxes to fund college scholarships.
Supporters of the "Missouri Promise" initiative announced their decision Monday. They said competition from two other cigarette tax proposals would have made it difficult to raise enough money to hire petition circulators and promote their initiative.

Higher Cigarette Taxes Associated with Lower Infant Death Rate
voanews.com – 1 de Diciembre de 2015 – EEUU
Governments impose taxes on cigarettes in part as a public health measure, to encourage people to stop smoking. But a new study suggests the high cost may also lead to lower infant mortality.
Higher cigarette taxes are already associated with lower rates of smoking during pregnancy, and fewer health problems for newborns, such as low birth weight, prematurity and birth defects. This study, published in the journal Pediatrics, is the first to evaluate the impact of those taxes on infant mortality rates in the US.

Wyoming lawmakers want to see higher cigarette tax
nkytribune.com – 19 de octubre de 2015 – EEUU
BUFFALO, Wyo. — A legislative panel recommended a tobacco tax increase Tuesday morning to curb the state smoking rate, although it did not weigh in on what that rate should be.
Members of the Joint Labor, Health and Social Services Interim Committee also created a funding priority list from more than 20 state programs that use payments and interest from the Tobacco Settlement Trust Income Account, which earns money from cigarette companies as a result of a 1998 lawsuit. The account is projected to have a $14.6 million shortfall by 2018.

WEST VIRGINIA TOYS WITH RAISING TOBACCO TAXES
nacsonline.com – 17 de septiembre de 2015 – EEUU
CHARLESTON — West Virginia, which has one of the lowest tobacco tax rates in the United States, might consider increasing tobacco excise taxes in an effort to offset the state’s dismal budget, the Bluefield Daily Telegraph reports. Currently, West Virginia has a 55-cent per pack tax on cigarettes.
“There’s room on the tobacco side,” for higher taxes, said state delegate Eric Nelson, who participated in a legislative session on alcoholic beverages, gambling and tobacco products. Nelson pointed out that any hike would include e-cigarettes, which are not subject to state tobacco taxes at present. “E-cigarettes are a growing segment that needs to be looked at. … We’re significantly below other states. It has become an issue,” he said.

Tobacco makers reminded on use of tax stamps on cigarettes
inquirer.net – 5 de Agosto de 2015 – EEUU
JUSTICE Secretary Leila de Lima on Thursday warned tobacco manufacturers, importers to comply with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) regulation to affix internal revenue tax stamps on their products or the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) would go after them.
To ensure full compliance with the regulation, De Lima said the NBI was tapped to help the BIR.
“The NBI is deputized to help the BIR ensure full compliance with the internal revenue code. Steps will be taken including operations against those suspected of non-compliance,” de Lima said.
“So, we are telling them that they better comply now or in the next two weeks otherwise huhulihin sila or kakasuhan sila (they would be arrested and charged),” de Lima added.

Michigan urged to raise cigarette tax, spend more on tobacco prevention
mlive.com – 6 de Agosto de 2015 – EEUU
Michigan should raise its tobacco tax and step up funding for tobacco prevention programs, according to a report by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
The state falls short in efforts to reduce suffering and death from tobacco use, the report finds. It argues that a greater percentage of the tobacco tax dollars should be dedicated to cessation programs.
"Just over 8,300 people are going to be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015 (in Michigan)," said Andrew Schepers, spokesman for Cancer Action Network in Michigan. "Just over 6,000 people are going to die from it.

ghanaweb.com – 29 de Julio de 2015 – Ghana
Government is optimistic Parliament’s approval for an increase in the excise duty on tobacco products, from 150 percent to 175 percent of the ex-factory price, will further discourage consumption of the products.
Ghana’s excise tax, as a percentage of cigarette prices, is considered among the lowest in the West African sub-region.
Now Parliament has approved the Excise Duty (Amendment) bill, 2015, which sought to amend the 2014 Act and increase the duty on cigarettes and cigars.

Tobacco taxes increasingly popular throughout Alaska
adn.com – 27 de Julio de 2015 – EEUU
In Alaska, a state with a libertarian streak, new or higher taxes often hit a raw nerve with the public, but one type of levy is gradually winning support from communities large and small and may continue to spread as state spending and other revenue sources shrink.

salamanca24horas.com – 27 de Julio de 2015 – España
La provincia de Salamanca comercializó 39,2 millones de euros hasta junio, frente a los 39,7 millones en 2014 debido sobre todo por el descenso de 300.000 cigarrillos vendidos
La venta de tabaco comenzó el año al alza en la provincia de Salamanca, pero durante el último mes ha registrado un importante bajón, lo que le ha llevado a cerrar en negativo el primer semestre, según los últimos datos publicados por el Comisionado para el Mercado de Tabacos, actualizados a 30 de junio.
En concreto, 500.000 euros menos de recaudación, al pasar de 39,7 millones en 2014 a 39,2 en el presente ejercicio.
