About

Healthy Montana is an initiative to raise the state tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products including untaxed electronic tobacco products like e-cigarettes. Increasing fees on tobacco saves both lives and money by preventing kids from smoking and reducing the toll of cancer and heart disease on our health and our economy. This initiative prevents nearly 100,000 Montanans from losing their health coverage. It also provides needed funds for veterans suicide prevention programs, health services to help seniors and people with disabilities stay in their homes, and programs to prevent kids from smoking and help smokers quit.
