Voters in three states considered ballot measures on tobacco control and in all three states voted in favor of strong tobacco control policy.

In Colorado, by a margin of 67 percent to 32 percent, voters passed a 1.10/pack increase in the state excise tax on cigarettes, increased taxes on other tobacco products in instituted a new state excise tax on e-cigarette products.  The measure also included further tobacco excise taxes in future years.  A portion of the new revenue will be dedicated to state tobacco control efforts. 

In Oklahoma, by a margin of 59 percent to 41 percent, voters rejected a ballot measure that would have diverted future payments from the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement away from state tobacco control programs. 

Oregon voters, by a margin of 66 percent to 34 percent, approved a $2.00/pack increase in cigarettes, increased taxes on premium cigars and instituted a 65 percent excise tax on e-cigarette products.  A portion of the tax revenue will go to support state tobacco control programs.
