Bill Would Boost Cigarette Taxes By 24 Cents A Pack In Wyoming
Wyoming’s Legislature is set to review an increase in tobacco taxes that would add 24 cents to the cost of a pack of cigarettes if approved.
When the Legislature resumes its work late this month, one of the bills it is slated to review is House Bill 55, which would boost the excise tax on a pack of cigarettes from 60 cents to 84 cents.
The bill would also increase the excise tax on snuff from 60 cents per ounce to 72 cents.
The excise taxes are applied in addition to sales taxes and federal taxes also paid on the products.
