Article Summary
In an attempt to discourage smoking, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a bill which would set a $10.50 minimum price for a pack of cigarettes. The bill would also prohibit retailers from offering any discounts such as 2-for-1 offers or accepting discount coupons. New York City already has the highest cigarette tax in the country, at $5.85 per pack, and the state of New York is one of many which already require cigarettes be marked up by a specified percentage. This bill is a companion to one which would require stores to keep tobacco products hidden from sight. Although the bills are expected to be challenged in court, a precedent has been set in Rhode Island, where a court upheld a ruling allowing the city of Providence to forbid retailers from accepting coupons and offering discounts on cigarettes.
