Hike cigarette prices



By now, everyone knows two things - Louisiana is in a budget crisis and smoking is bad for your health. There is one action that can have a positive impact on both these problems - increasing the price of cigarettes.

As a physician, I support a cigarette tax increase because it's a proven way to discourage young people from starting to smoke and to encourage smokers to quit. Both my parents smoked and died of lung cancer. The only way to really decrease lung cancer is to get more people to quit smoking. In Louisiana each year, an astounding 11.8 million packs of cigarettes are bought or smoked by our children and 6,700 kids under 18 become new daily smokers. Smoking causes serious health problems among children and teens, including respiratory illnesses, reduced physical fitness, poor lung growth and function, worse overall health and addiction to nicotine.

Raising cigarette prices is one of the most effective ways to prevent and reduce smoking, especially among kids, save lives and cut health care costs. I urge our Legislature and governor to do the right thing.
