PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Illinois smokers are bracing for the $1-a-pack
cigarette tax increase that takes effect Sunday, with some stocking up
and others vowing to kick the habit.
The (Peoria) Journal Star
reports that some business owners are doing a brisk business now, but
worry that could change once the increase kicks in.
The tax on a pack of cigarettes is jumping from 98 cents to $1.98.
Lorraine Harvey is assistant manager at Discount Tobacco in Peoria. She
says she'll try to quit smoking rather than pay the tax. But she hears
others talking about buying cigarettes from other states.
Meanwhile, so many smokers have been stocking up that distributors are
having trouble meeting demand. Harvey has limited her customers to two
cartons apiece until the tax increase takes effect.
