Tobacco; increase excise tax on all products except cigarettes.

HB 758 increases the excise tax on most tobacco products (including cigars, snuff, chewing tobacco, and smoking tobacco) to 22.5% of the manufacturer's list price, while leaving cigarette taxes unchanged at 3.4¢ per cigarette. This tax applies to businesses selling these products in Mississippi, with the cost ultimately passed to consumers. The change takes effect July 1, 2026, and does not apply to cigarettes or heated tobacco products (which have separate tax rates). The bill amends Mississippi Code Section 27-69-13.
