Our city council is debating disallowing all flavors save tobacco, menthol, and wintergreen. Again, it's couched in "save our kids."
What Ohio attempted in February:
Current: 15mL = $10 + $0.73 sales tax = $10.73 total
New: 15 mL = $10 + $16.88 cigarette tax = $26.88 + $1.95 sales tax = $28.83 total
Or a 269% increase in cost.
Plus a $1000 licensing fee for all vendors.
I wish it was Only Ohio was that was Perusing this.
And I wonder how Ohio Legislators can Justify a e-Liquid Tax Basis that is 2 or 3 or maybe even 5x that of Tax Basis of a PAD Smoker?
How Organized is the Opposition in Ohio to New Tax Legislation on e-liquids that contain Nicotine?
I assume the same tax applies for no-nic.

It already went down. Likely will be brought up again but down for now. I emailed, spread the word to friends and the local shop and hopefully some of them emailed as well - they're all social media and I gave them the addresses - well through CASAA who was on top of it too. I grew up with my state rep.... a Dem who supported the bill but they were outvoted by the Republicans even though Gov. Kasich (R) also supported it One of the reasons why he can say on the campaign trail 'he didn't raise taxes' is because it failed lol....

We'll have another fight on our hands here, in CA, come January...
They just won't give up. How many times have we defeated CA legislature? Doesn't matter. They keep coming back. Like the hydra--you cut one head off, two grow in its place.

Maybe this time they can Actually define what is to Be Taxed? And at What Rate?
If there's anything left to be taxed, that is...

The situation is much worse than that. As a member of Congress, he is one of the arch-criminals who funnel millions of dollars into the pockets of corrupt charlatans to deliberately commit scientific fraud, because they tell him what he WANTS to hear.Oh dear....................what a mushroom.....................kept in the dark and fed on BS
