The economist working for the lobby for sufferers of second-hand smoke argues that this is an enormous overestimate and that the reduction in consumer surplus will be only $30 million per day, since after the imposition of the tax only 30 million packs of cigarettes will be bought and each of these packs will now cost $1 more
The evidence is clear, a substantial increase in tobacco tax is necessary in order to reduce use. Deming spoke in support of the $1.50 increase, saying if the tax rate is too low, it wont actually get people to stop smoking or prevent people from starting. The speakers all emphasized the proposed tax increase was not a partisan issue
These potential benefits are negligible compared to the harms of tobacco and nicotine use and exposure, so rather than questioning the need to continue supporting measures to prevent smoking initiation and facilitate cessation among those who still smoke, they merely encourage further research to help develop new therapies that replicate the possible beneficial effects of tobacco on diseases such as Parkinson's
