SC Cigarette tax increase

A senate subcommittee has less than three weeks to finalize a possible increase in our state's cigarette tax.
Two key senators from that group will go public on their progress.
Senators Tom Alexander, of Orangeburg and Nikki Setzler, of Lexington will address issues that came up earlier this week, regarding the possible tax increase on tobacco use, and where the money would go.
You'll remember that Governor Mark Sanford has advocated increasing the state cigarette tax by 30-cents a pack to cover income tax cuts.
According to the American Lung Association the last time the tax was raised was in 1977.
