Abstract: It's budget time again in the General Assembly, and one of the proposals under consideration is an increase in the state?s excise tax on cigarettes. Only Virginia and Kentucky have lower taxes than North Carolina?s five cents per pack, and Virginia?s tax will rise to 30 cents next year. As the accompanying table shows, taxes are over a dollar per pack in a number of states, with New Jersey?s $2.05 leading the, um, pack.
