Election Notes:
  • The summary of the proposition as it appeared on the general election ballot: Increases cigarette tax by $2.00 per pack, with equivalent increase on other tobacco products and electronic cigarettes containing nicotine. Allocates revenues primarily to increase funding for existing healthcare programs; also for tobacco use prevention/control programs, tobacco-related disease research and law enforcement, University of California physician training, dental disease prevention programs, and administration. Excludes these revenues from Proposition 98 funding requirements. If tax causes decreased tobacco consumption, transfers tax revenues to offset decreases to existing tobacco-funded programs and sales tax revenues.
  • Information on the language of the proposition is from the Official Voter Information Guide issued by the California Secretary of State: http://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2016/general/en/pdf/complete-vig.pdf
