Governor Meyer helps protect little hearts in the state budget! Thank him today!
February, 5 2026
We have exciting news for kids, families, and everyone who cares about a healthier future in Delaware.
The recently released Governor’s recommended budget includes increasing the price of tobacco – including a $1.50 cigarette tax increase. This significant step forward will help protect young people, all while easing rising health care costs across our state.
Will you join us in sending Governor Meyer a thank you?
Strong tobacco taxes help prevent kids from starting tobacco use and reduce costly tobacco-related illnesses. According to our partners at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, this step forward could mean a 9.6% decrease in youth smoking and nearly 40 million saved in long-term health care costs. We can all agree this will help Delaware communities grow stronger and healthier.
Send your message now and let Governor Meyer know you support the tobacco tax.
