The plan would have raised the price of tobacco products in commissaries, exchanges and ships' stores to the prevailing price on the civilian market. Supporters of the proposal contend lower tobacco prices on base encourage military people to smoke. They claim that raising those prices would reduce the number of smokers in the military. Part of the proposal also would have required that, profits from the price increases be spent on health and fitness programs. The price increase would have raised commissary profits by about $202 million a year. Congress has considered other proposals on base tobacco price increases recently. Similar legislation was proposed last year. Two years ago, an amendment by the Senate was removed from a spending bill.
