But sometimes she still didn’t have money to buy laundry detergent or toilet paper. In 2013, after smoking for 40 years, the price tag, her doctor’s warnings and her daughter’s guilt trips -- it all came together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She quit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said, ‘Lord, I’ve been waiting a long time for this.

Backers of the measure, including the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association, hope to hit people hard enough in the wallet that they quit smoking, or never start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies support the goal. For every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes, smoking goes down 4 percent, according to the 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/reports/50-years-of-progress/index.html\">Surgeon General’s Report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of that is people quitting. Part of that is people cutting down,” says Stanton Glantz, a professor of medicine at UCSF and director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York City, smoking rates declined from 22 percent of the local population to 15 percent in the decade that the tax, and a ban on smoking in restaurants and bars, was implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's smoking rate is about 12 percent, the second lowest in the country after Utah. Most people here who do smoke, Glantz says, don’t smoke that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may be that a price increase that will follow Prop. 56 will be enough to just get these light, intermittent smokers to just say, 'Forget it,'\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glantz’s colleague, behavioral economist Justin White, explains the psychology behind this. He says the vast majority of smokers wish they could quit. They know it’s bad for them. But addiction is a powerful force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this universal tendency towards immediate gratification,” White says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11097648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11097648\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"A man smokes a cigarette in New York City, where the current tobacco tax is $4.35 a pack.\" width=\"800\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-800x544.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-400x272.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-1180x802.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-960x653.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man smokes a cigarette in New York City, where the current tobacco tax is $4.35 a pack. \u003ccite>(T. Carrigan/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The craving for a cigarette right now easily overwhelms fears of heart disease or lung cancer in the future. But, White says, a cigarette tax can flip that. A tax also hits right now, and that has the power to compete with the desire for a cigarette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Increasing taxes is a way to really bring that back to equilibrium, the cost in the future versus the benefits now,” White says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, how much. He says a $1 or $2 tax is enough to sway smokers with a mild self-control problem. But for smokers with a strong addiction, the tax needs to be between $5 and $10 to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, White says, a tax is most effective when paired with support from a cessation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where opponents have been digging into Proposition 56. The No on 56 campaign, backed by tobacco companies R.J, Reynolds and Philip Morris, have raised $56 million to defeat the measure. Supporters have raised $17.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It may be that a price increase will be enough to just get these light, intermittent smokers to just say, 'Forget it.''\u003ccite>Stanton Glantz, professor of medicine at UCSF\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Opponents are investing in \u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201609160850/b\">radio ads\u003c/a> that say proponents “are telling us Proposition 56 is all about helping people stop smoking. But follow the money, and you’ll find out that only 13 percent of the new taxes would actually help people quit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is true. Of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=56&year=2016\">$1.4 billion\u003c/a> that Proposition 56 is expected to raise from the tax, 13 percent would go to the state’s cessation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But UCSF professor Stanton Glantz says that’s still $100 million, and that’s enough to fully serve all would-be quitters who need help. The rest of the tax money would go to Medi-Cal, the state’s low-income health care program, which covers care for one in three Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents ultimately reject the tax, no matter how the revenues would be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m opposed to every manner of taxing,” says Steven Greenhut, Western Region director for the R Street Institute, a free market think tank that promotes limited government. “Let people make their own choices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He doesn’t like that Proposition 56 would tax e-cigarettes, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vaping is not entirely safe,” he says. “But it’s pretty clear that vaping is far less harmful than smoking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11097727\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11097727\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A man blows vapor from an e-cigarette at a vape lounge in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man blows vapor from an e-cigarette at a vape lounge in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Early studies do show that e-cigarettes may have fewer health impacts.

If voters pass \u003ca href=\"https://www.oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/15-0081%20(Tobacco%20Tax%20V3).pdf?\">Proposition 56\u003c/a> in November, the tax would go up to $2.87 a pack. Backers of the measure, including the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association, hope to hit people hard enough in the wallet that they quit smoking, or never start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies support the goal. For every 10 percent increase in the price of cigarettes, smoking goes down 4 percent, according to the 2014 \u003ca href=\"http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/reports/50-years-of-progress/index.html\">Surgeon General’s Report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of that is people quitting. Part of that is people cutting down,” says Stanton Glantz, a professor of medicine at UCSF and director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New York City, smoking rates declined from 22 percent of the local population to 15 percent in the decade that the tax, and a ban on smoking in restaurants and bars, was implemented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's smoking rate is about 12 percent, the second lowest in the country after Utah. Most people here who do smoke, Glantz says, don’t smoke that much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may be that a price increase that will follow Prop. 56 will be enough to just get these light, intermittent smokers to just say, 'Forget it,'\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glantz’s colleague, behavioral economist Justin White, explains the psychology behind this. He says the vast majority of smokers wish they could quit. They know it’s bad for them. But addiction is a powerful force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this universal tendency towards immediate gratification,” White says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11097648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11097648\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-800x544.jpg\" alt=\"A man smokes a cigarette in New York City, where the current tobacco tax is $4.35 a pack.\" width=\"800\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-800x544.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-400x272.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-1180x802.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/NYCSmokin-960x653.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man smokes a cigarette in New York City, where the current tobacco tax is $4.35 a pack. \u003ccite>(T. Carrigan/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The craving for a cigarette right now easily overwhelms fears of heart disease or lung cancer in the future. But, White says, a cigarette tax can flip that. A tax also hits right now, and that has the power to compete with the desire for a cigarette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Increasing taxes is a way to really bring that back to equilibrium, the cost in the future versus the benefits now,” White says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, how much. He says a $1 or $2 tax is enough to sway smokers with a mild self-control problem. But for smokers with a strong addiction, the tax needs to be between $5 and $10 to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, White says, a tax is most effective when paired with support from a cessation program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is where opponents have been digging into Proposition 56. The No on 56 campaign, backed by tobacco companies R.J, Reynolds and Philip Morris, have raised $56 million to defeat the measure. Supporters have raised $17.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It may be that a price increase will be enough to just get these light, intermittent smokers to just say, 'Forget it.''\u003ccite>Stanton Glantz, professor of medicine at UCSF\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Opponents are investing in \u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201609160850/b\">radio ads\u003c/a> that say proponents “are telling us Proposition 56 is all about helping people stop smoking. But follow the money, and you’ll find out that only 13 percent of the new taxes would actually help people quit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is true. Of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/BallotAnalysis/Proposition?number=56&year=2016\">$1.4 billion\u003c/a> that Proposition 56 is expected to raise from the tax, 13 percent would go to the state’s cessation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But UCSF professor Stanton Glantz says that’s still $100 million, and that’s enough to fully serve all would-be quitters who need help. The rest of the tax money would go to Medi-Cal, the state’s low-income health care program, which covers care for one in three Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents ultimately reject the tax, no matter how the revenues would be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m opposed to every manner of taxing,” says Steven Greenhut, Western Region director for the R Street Institute, a free market think tank that promotes limited government. “Let people make their own choices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He doesn’t like that Proposition 56 would tax e-cigarettes, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vaping is not entirely safe,” he says. “But it’s pretty clear that vaping is far less harmful than smoking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11097727\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11097727\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A man blows vapor from an e-cigarette at a vape lounge in San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/09/Vapin-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man blows vapor from an e-cigarette at a vape lounge in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Early studies do show that e-cigarettes may have fewer health impacts.

"content": "\u003cp>As part of KQED’s Election 2016 coverage, we’ll discuss California’s Proposition 61. The measure is designed to lower prescription drug prices by prohibiting state programs, such as Medi-Cal, from paying more for a drug than the lowest price paid by the Federal Department of Veteran’s Affairs – which presently gets large discounts. Proponents say the measure would save the state hundreds of millions of dollars a year and may even lower drug costs for private insurers. Opponents argue that the measure could reduce consumer access to certain drugs. Meanwhile, the state Legislative Analyst’s Office says it’s hard to predict how much money, if any, could be saved by the measure.
