Indiana Cigarette Tax Increase Likely Dead This Year In

A coalition of health and business leaders has been lobbying to triple the tax on cigarettes in Indiana to three dollars a pack, but the House rejected the idea.
No one at the statehouse is willing to flatly pronounce the idea dead for the year, but Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray says it’s unlikely to make a comeback. Bray does say there’s “no doubt” legislators will raise the tax “at some point.” But he says that point probably won’t come this year.
One problem, Bray says, is that it’s not clear how the money from a cigarette tax would be spent.
