Why is the tax on gasoline less than the tax on cigarettes?
Federal and state taxes on gasoline are only about 36 cents per gallon but the combined tax on a pack of cigarettes is over a dollar. But gasoline causes way more harm than cigarettes, including environmental harm, health, and quality of life.

Cigarettes are addictive and an easy target. People love thier cars. Right or wrong - those are the facts.

Gas could be considered necessary whereas cigarettes are not.


Dr.PhilwithBoobsDueInJune
You choose to smoke but gas (in today's world) is kind of a necessity.

People need to travel, but they don't need to smoke...tax the cigarettes!! Better yet; take the tax off the gas and put it on the cigarettes!!

ciggies are taxed higher to discourage use and they harm you, gas is taxed less as it is a widely used and relied up commodity

FYI - they make more on low taxes for gas due to mass use, less on ciggies due to declined and limited use.

And to those who say gas should be taxed higher because its bad for the environment - thats BS. You will revolt against the governemtn the second you see it costs you 2x as much to drive, take a taxi, ship a package, fly, ride the bus, property taxes increase cause of downloaded costs from police, fire and ambulance, etc, etc, etc...its way more than just you driving around, a ton of businesses will have to pay more and will put people out of work...

Gasoline is a key part of the economy, society, and life in general. Increasing the taxes on it hurts the economy since everyone needs it. They can have really high taxes on cigarettes because people who smoke are going to buy them no matter what because they're addicted.

Gas causes way more harm????
It gets us all to work everyday. It heats our homes. It drives our economy. Increasing its cost makes life harder for many people.
Cigs on the other hand have no useful purpose. Except to cost us billions in health care. Increasing its cost helps to defray the cost to care for all the sickness it causes.

I don't know u live , but smokes are $52.00 here in Illinois....

Because the rates are what congress set them at. Both are really too low to accomplish the goals they are intended for.

It seems you are operating under the assumption that the tax code in our country is fair or rational. It is neither and politicians can only make it worse.

good question


VirtueOfIntolerance
because Democrats are not yet in the White House. Don't worry, if Hillary or Obama make it in there, we will all pay through the nose.
Also, cigaretes are not a necessity... transportation IS! And gasoline is the best fuel we have right now.

cigarettes have what is called a "sin tax". i don't understand why gas doesn't have one since it is bad for the enviroment.
