revenues. (a) In addition to the tax levied in Sections 302, 302-1 and 302-2 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, except as otherwise provided in this section, there is hereby levied upon the sale, use, gift, possession, or consumption of cigarettes, as defined in Sections 301 through 325 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes, within the State of Oklahoma a tax at a rate reflecting the amount of the reduction of the federal cigarette tax levied pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) of Section 5701 of the Internal Revenue Code, scheduled to be effective October 1, 1985. However, if the federal cigarette tax is increased subsequent to said reduction but prior to January 1, 1986, and said federal cigarette tax is increased by the amount of the reduction of said tax which was effective October 1, 1985, the provisions of this section shall cease to be effective.

Such tax shall be evidenced by tax stamps as now provided for by law for other cigarette taxes, except that as to cigarette packages of less than ten cigarettes for free distribution as samples, the tax therein levied shall be computed and paid as provided for other cigarette taxes without affixing stamps on such package.
