The advocates want to change the tax from a flat 30 cents per pack of cigarettes sold to an 8% tax on wholesale sales volumes. They also want to broaden the tax so it applies to sales on all tobacco products. Backers of the request estimate the change would effectively double the money the tax generates, which they said would make up for dwindling revenues tied to declining smoking rates. If state lawmakers agree to allow the change, it then would need approval from local voters to take effect. The arts organizations also want legislators to change state law authorizing Ohio\u2019s 14 other most populous counties to seek approval for similar taxes. Under current law, only Cuyahoga County residents can enact such a tax.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/open\/2021\/03\/cuyahoga-county-arts-advocates-want-permission-to-expand-cigarette-tax-through-state-budget-amendment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cuyahoga County arts advocates want permission to expand cigarette tax through state budget amendment<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20CUYAHOGA%20COUNTY%2C%20OHIO%20%5BArt%20Advocates%20Want%20Vape%20Tax%20To%20Fund%20Them%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Cuyahoga County arts advocates are leading an effort to amend the pending state budget bill to expand an existing cigarette tax that helps fund local&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-recent_news","category-vaping-news","wpcat-15-id","wpcat-147-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24373"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24374,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24373\/revisions\/24374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
