Tribes in Nevada will see an increase in revenue from the sale of cigarettes.

The state raised its tax from 35 cents to 80 cents. If a tribe imposes a tax equal or greater than the state tax, the tribe keeps all the earnings.

The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony near Reno will see income grow from $3.2 million to more than $5 million, the tribe's director of business enterprises said.
