PA Budget Passes Senate, Governor to Sign

Looks like smokeless tobacco (including snus) and large cigars will get no new taxes in Pennsylvania. The senate passed the bill sent to them by the house yesterday and the Governor has said that he’ll sign it. Cigarettes and small cigars are getting hit with a 25 cent per pack tax increase.
