High taxes on tobacco products are a proven way to reduce tobacco use especially among youth. The current federal cigarette tax is 39 cents per pack, and the current average state cigarette tax is $1.19 per pack. Three states - Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York - as well as the District of Columbia have passed cigarette tax increases in 2008.
