Wyoming cigarette tax could go up $1 per pack. But questions about reservation sales remain.

CHEYENNE — Smokers in Wyoming would pay an additional $1 per pack and roughly $10 more per carton under a measure given a tentative green light by the Legislature’s revenue committee.

At 60 cents, Wyoming has one of the lowest cigarette taxes in the nation, and on Monday, public health concerns aligned with a need to bring more cash into public coffers amid the roughly $700 million budget deficit. Lawmakers decided to move forward the cigarette tax bill that was effectively tabled during the revenue committee’s August meeting.
