Tax hike may barely curb teen smoking says experts
Congress raises cigarette tax by 10 cents in 2000 and five more in 2002 to fund children’s health. Critics say a 15-cent rise will yield only about 5 percent fewer teen smokers. Experts cite price alone as insufficient without tougher rules and anti smoking campaigns. California and Massachusetts show larger drops when tax hikes pair with broader anti smoking measures.
