Bill overview
This bill increases the percentage of cigarette and other tobacco product tax revenues dedicated to anti-smoking initiatives in New Jersey. Currently, one percent of these revenues are allocated to tobacco control programs. This bill raises that amount to three percent, aiming to significantly boost funding for programs designed to prevent tobacco use, reduce secondhand smoke exposure, and support cessation efforts. The additional funds will be directed to the Department of Health and prioritized for programs targeting vulnerable populations like Medicaid recipients and youth.
