East Texas Smokers Feeling Cigarette Tax Increase
House Bill 5, which increases the tax on cigarettes and other products like chewing tobacco is now in its second day. Smokers are finding they have to pay $1.00 more than usual for a pack of cigarettes, and about $10.00 more per carton. It's too much for many East Texans.
The shelves at Tobacco Junction in Tyler were bare Tuesday afternoon, as many smokers stocked up before this week's tax increase. Still, many found out today just how much more they will have to pay to smoke.
"A dollar and probably 80 some cents more," said Milton of Tyler.
