House Democrats’ proposed tax increases on tobacco and vaping products “defy” President Biden’s tax pledge to the middle class, says the Tax Foundation.
According to the organization, while the tax will be changed to manufacturers, “it would fall heavily on tobacco consumers—many of the group that earns less than $400,000 that President Biden pledged would not see a tax increase.”
The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that the tax hikes would generate approximately $96 billion in revenue.
The proposal would double the existing tax rates on cigarettes and increase “rates on all other tobacco and nicotine products to achieve parity with the new rate on cigarettes,” according to the Tax Foundation analysis.
The CDC estimates that there are about 34.1 million cigarette smokers living the U.S.
Just the News reached out to offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Whip James Clyburn to find out if the Democratic leaders support the proposed increases but didn’t receive a response for publication.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
