132. The stupid is strong on that side of the ecig battle

But that doesn't stop states from jumping on 92% tax increases on ecigs as is evidenced by Vermont's new Miscellaneous Tax Bill by the House Ways and Means Committee http://www2.leg.state.vt.us/legdir/committeeinfo.cfm?CommitteeID=202&Folder=House%20Ways%20and%20Means/Bills&Sort=Bill

They claim "we don't know what harm ecigs can do, so let's jack the taxes up the same as cigarettes". Truly brilliant.

Let's levy the same absurd tax rates on vapes as we do cigarettes until we understand if/how ecigs might become a public health menace. Let alone the fact that countless studies show they pose no threat at all, here's your 92% tax increase regardless.

Luddites, and hall monitors. Bought and paid for...

I still hope more logical/scientific minds who value integrity prevail, but like everything else, we're up against politicians who are happy to pad their pockets on the kick backs from big corps vs giving a shit about public health, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans annually, or the fact that the science is unassailable.
