California cigarette price increase Prop. 29 fails

The proposed tax hike on cigarettes in California failed. This is good news for tobacco users in California. Taxes are generally high in California, but their tobacco prices are only the 32nd highest in the country. If this law passed, California would have had the 16th highest cigarette taxes in the country. The bill narrowly failed by a 51-49 margin.
