美国各州烟草税差异大

美国肺脏学会1月22日发布的《2014各州烟草控制》报告显示，纽约的烟草特许权税是美国最高的，而密苏里州最低，差额超过4美元。

目前在纽约销售的每包香烟都附加4.35美元的特许权税，而密苏里州仅对每包香烟征收17美分的特许权税。马萨诸塞州的税额列第二位，为3.51美元/包，弗吉尼亚州则位于倒数第二，为30美分/包。全美的平均烟草特许权税为1.53美元/包。

这份报告指出，2013年各州在控烟、禁烟方面普遍缺乏进展，仅有2个州——马萨诸塞州和明尼苏达州——明显提高了税额，“没有1个州批准综合性工作场所无烟法案”，仅有2个州——阿拉斯加州和北达科他州——按照疾病预防控制中心(CDC)推荐水平或更高水平资助烟草预防计划。

New York has the highest cigarette excise tax in the United States and Missouri has the lowest, with a difference of more than $4 in between, the American Lung Association said in a report released Jan. 22.

New York currently adds $4.35 to the price of each pack of cigarettes sold in the state, compared with Missouri’s lowest-in-the-nation rate of 17 cents per pack. Massachusetts has the second-highest tax at $3.51, while Virginia is second lowest at 30 cents. The U.S. average is $1.53 per pack, according to the association’s "State of Tobacco Control 2014" report.

The report noted a general lack of progress among states in smoking cessation and prevention in 2013, with only two states – Massachusetts and Minnesota – passing significant tax increases, "no states approving comprehensive smokefree workplace laws," and two states – Alaska and North Dakota – funding their tobacco prevention programs "at or above levels" recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
