Each year, tobacco claims 17,700 Ohio lives and costs us $5.6 billion in health care bills. We can save lives and money by taking three simple steps:
- Increase the cigarette tax by at least $1.00
- Equalize the tax rate across all tobacco products and
- Restore funding for programs proven to prevent kids from smoking and help adults quit.
