Oppose Premium Cigar Tax Increase In Massachusetts

Massachusetts State Senator Harriette Chandler has introduced S.B. 1809 which would raise the level of taxation on all tobacco products, and specifically would raise the OTP (Other Tobacco Products) tax on premium cigars, from the current rate of 40% to 80% of the wholesale price, making it among the highest in the region. Now is not the time to raise taxes of any kind, given the economic affects of the national pandemic. Please send the message below to your legislators, today!
