On Monday, July 13th, 2015, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley announced that the state legislature would be heading back into special session to hash out the details of the state’s budget. One of the proposals to be discussed will be a revived version of an earlier e-cigarette tax bill.
Please take action NOW by sending a message to your lawmakers urging them to oppose the Governor’s vapor tax.
The special session will reconvene on Monday, August 3rd, 2015. It is vital that Alabama vapers and harm reduction advocates take this opportunity NOW to reach out to lawmakers urging them to oppose ANY new tax on vapor products.
Although this new tax bill has not been published and is still under review by the Legislative Fiscal Office, the Breathe Easier Alliance of Alabama has stated that this bill is likely to impose a $0.25/milliliter tax on e-cigarettes and e-liquid containing nicotine. This would add $7.50 to a 30 ml bottle of e-liquid.
