Area wholesalers say the 80 cent per carton tax increase today won’t prompt immediate price hikes for consumers. Manufacturers have raised prices since the federal tax law passage, spreading adjustments over months, leaving customers confused yet not deterred. Store managers and patrons expect continued smoking despite higher costs, with some buying by the carton or seeking lower prices via vending and discount outlets.
