Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland hopes the federal government will rake in $1.7 billion from an increase in sales tax on tobacco, but many point out the move will fuel the illegal market.

Tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday, Freeland’s budget Fairness For Every Generation, which misses deficit spending targets by 95%, proposes an increase of $4 per carton of tobacco, with an additional $1.49 “automatic inflation increase.” It went into effect Wednesday.

Further, a 12% tax increase will be applied to all vaping products, effective in July.
