New Jersey S3221 increases the tax revenue dedicated to anti-smoking initiatives from one to three percent.

New Jersey S3221 amends existing law to increase the amount of cigarette and other tobacco products tax revenues dedicated to anti-smoking initiatives from one to three percent. These revenues are directed to the Department of Health to fund tobacco control programs aimed at preventing youth initiation of tobacco usage, reducing exposure to secondhand smoke, and promoting cessation. Priority is given to programs targeting the State's Medicaid population and youth. The change is expected to increase funding for these initiatives from approximately $5 million to $15 million in FY 2023.
