Alabama Gov. Bentley proposes taxing vapor products, increasing cigarette tax from $.425 to $.675/pack and proportionate OTP tax hike in special budget session
Lawmakers receive details for Alabama governor's budget proposals | Local News | Times Free Press
The news article provided no details about the Gov's vapor tax proposal, but I suspect it was inspired by Reynolds. Since Alabama has among the lowest OTP tax rates in the country (and since the Gov has proposed an OTP tax increase proportionate with the cigarette tax hike), I suspect his proposed vapor tax is / will be modest (but should still be opposed).
