He says a $1 or $2 tax is enough to sway smokers with a mild self-control problem. But for smokers with a strong addiction, the tax needs to be between $5 and $10 to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, White says, a tax is most effective when paired with support from a cessation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where opponents have been digging into Proposition 56.

But, White says, a cigarette tax can flip that. A tax also hits right now, and that has the power to compete with the desire for a cigarette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Increasing taxes is a way to really bring that back to equilibrium, the cost in the future versus the benefits now,” White says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, how much. He says a $1 or $2 tax is enough to sway smokers with a mild self-control problem. But for smokers with a strong addiction, the tax needs to be between $5 and $10 to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, White says, a tax is most effective when paired with support from a cessation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where opponents have been digging into Proposition 56. The No on 56 campaign, backed by tobacco companies R.J, Reynolds and Philip Morris, have raised $56 million to defeat the measure.
