Summary of Bill HR 1798

Bill 119 hr 1798, also known as the Tobacco Tax Parity Act, aims to make changes to the tax rates on tobacco products in the United States.

Overall, the Tobacco Tax Parity Act aims to create a more equitable tax system for tobacco products in the United States, ensuring that all products are taxed at the same rate.
