Price of cigarettes in New York City will exceed U.S. $ 11 dollars or roughly 100,000 per pack, cigarette taxes if the plan passed by the parliament of New York state this weekend.

Governor David Paterson has proposed cigarette tax increase in the state of New York to U.S. $ 1, 60 cents, while New York's city government is also implementing a separate tax, which would make the price of cigarettes in New York City became the most expensive in America.

Governor Paterson also want a tax increase on cigars, chewing tobacco and similar products up to 75% of the price grosirnya. Governor Paterson's plan would also crack down on American Indian tribes in New York, which has long rejected the tobacco tax enforcement.

Proposed cigarette tax increase in the state of New York is an effort to increase revenue, because the state House of Representatives failed to approve the fiscal budget in April. If the design of the cigarette tax increase is not approved by the House on Monday, the New York state government could shut down.
