That will bring the average retail price up to $8.33 a pack, almost a 32 percent increase. State officials are expecting a tax windfall of $135 million in 2021 from the higher taxes. That assumes Oregonians continue to buy cigarettes at the same rate. Economists warn, however, that smokers reduce cigarette purchases when prices go up.
