Denver November 2004 Election
A new tax on cigarettes is the aim of a group that launched a drive Monday to get a tax increase on the November ballot, according to the Denver Post [May 18, 2004, "Tobacco tax hike proposed"]. From the article, "A ballot initiative campaign launched Monday seeks to ask voters Nov. 2 to raise the state's cigarette tax from 20 cents a pack currently, the second-lowest in the nation, to 84 cents, about the national average...Backers hope the tax will keep 1,500 of the estimated 10,800 Colorado kids who start smoking each year from taking up the habit."
