Including both sales taxes and excise taxes on cigarettes, Georgia will collect an estimated $227 million in tax revenue in FY 2026.[16] On average, a pack of 20 cigarettes currently retails for about $9.01 per pack, including the states $0.37 user fee and the federal excise tax of $1.01 per pack, which was last revised in 2009.[17] In 2003, Governor Sonny Perdue led Georgia to raise its cigarette user fee up to the current level of $0.37 per pack from the previous rate of $0.12 per pack
While e-cigarette use among young people has declined in recent years, it remains a serious public health threat: 10% of high school students used e-cigarettes in 2023, many of whom were not smokers in the first place
The last time the rate was raised [in 2014 to 35 cents a pack], which was before I came [on July 21 of that same year], the city did see a dip in cigarette tax stamp sales
