Clinton backs higher cigarette tax plan amid anti smoking push
Senate leaders report President Clinton would sign a bill raising cigarette taxes by 1.50 per pack over three years if other anti smoking goals are met. Sen Daschle said lawmakers expect acceptance of 1.50, while Bowles offered cautious optimism. Tobacco state Democrats warn the move could hurt farmers as Senate Finance Committee approved the tax rise 10-9 to be added to McCain’s tobacco bill before Monday’s debate.
