The state’s new budget sets the per-pack tax at $2.60, the 10th highest cigarette tax in the nation.
The tax is supposed to generate about $430 million dollars to help balance the state’s budget.
The new budget also imposes a 55-cents-per-ounce tax on roll-your-own tobacco and smokeless tobacco to generate about $50 million, and it sets a 40 percent tax on the wholesale price of electronic cigarettes, including vapor producing devices and liquid cartridges, to generate another $13 million.
Cigars in Pennsylvania remain tax-free.
