If no counties impose a county cigarette tax, State Cigarette Tax and Cigarette Use Tax revenues would increase by approximately $410 million per year. If Lake, McHenry, Kane, DuPage, and Will Counties all impose a county cigarette tax, State Cigarette Tax and Cigarette Use Tax revenues would increase by approximately $220 million per year. 2/1/2007HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
