“Starting Jan. 1, there will be a $3 tax on a pack of cigarettes bought in Aspen, with a 10-cent increase annually until the tax reaches $4. In passing Ballot Issue 2B, voters also said yes to a 40 percent hike on all other tobacco products — including cigars, e-cigarettes and chewing tobacco.
The new tax goes into effect on the same day as the city’s legislation raising the tobacco purchase age from 18 to 21 years old.”
