INDIANA
CAN'T AFFORD TOBACCO

TobaccoTax_image1.png

If you live in Indiana, you're paying for big tobacco. Smoking raises healthcare and business costs. That means higher insurance premiums, less money toward wages, and more tax dollars to support Medicaid. You shouldn’t subsidize smoking.

Smoking Costs

$1,134

For each Indiana household in state and federal taxes from smoking-caused government expenditures.

$634  MILLION

For the state in Medicaid each year due to smoking.

$3.1  BILLION

For Indiana businesses due to absenteeism, smoke breaks, and lost productivity.

THE PROBLEM

We can’t afford to be lighting money on fire. But that’s essentially what smoking does.
