- Oregon Hikes Cigarette Tax by $2 Last November Oregon voters overwhelmingly approved higher taxes on cigarettes and a new tax on e-cigarettes. Effective January 1, 2021, the state tax on a pack of cigarettes jumped from $1.33 to $3.33, the sixth-highest state tax in the nation. 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. Typically, unit sales decline by 4 percent when cigarette prices go up by 10 percent. The drop in unit sales may be larger in Oregon, as residents will have the option of purchasing smokes from other states, Indian reservations, and online.
