CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – The New Hampshire Senate has voted to tax cigarettes masquerading as little cigars.
The Senate voted 13-11 Thursday to change the definition of a cigarette to capture smokes being packaged as cigars. Cigars aren’t subject to the state’s $1.08 per pack cigarette tax.
The bill defines a cigarette by the materials used to make it and by its weight.
The House next considers the bill.
