  • Tobacco Taxes Not Stopping Smokers in Arkansas 

    Friday, Oct 23, 2009 @08:15am CDT


    (Little Rock, AR) -- New numbers show that recent tobacco taxes in Arkansas aren't keeping smokers away.
       
    Though a few might have stopped lighting up, those still in the game are paying more.  That's expected to bring in $33 million tax dollars than expected for fiscal year 2010.
       
    Arkansas' tobacco cessation hotline receives about 400 calls a week.  That's only up about 50 calls, since before the tax went into effect.
