This bill reduces the amount of cigarette tax revenue directed to tobacco prevention programs, lowering it from $5 million annually to $2 million. The change means that instead of $35 million going to the general fund, now $32 million will go there, with the extra $3 million in tobacco tax revenue redirected away from prevention efforts.
