California Prop 56 - Hidden Vape Tax

[Lessifer]

I vape, I voted.

Let's hope the general population of CA doesn't say "I don't smoke, this doesn't effect me, why not raise the tax?"

That's the problem with "sin", "luxury", etc. taxes. Doesn't affect me so why not tax steal even more from those it does.

We can Always Hope. But History is Not in our favor.

BTW - I wonder How Many CA Vaper's Vote? And out those who do, How Many even know that this is going to Effect Them?

I haven't set foot in a vape shop in probably a year. I did check the facebook pages of the ones I had been to in the past, I saw one(of three) that had a blurb about voting No on 56. I did not see anything vape related in any of the official literature on the proposition, or any vape companies on the list of those funding the No on 56 campaign.

I have Seen Almost NOTHING.

With the exception of No on 56 TV Ads paid for by BT.

I'm always heartbroken at the number of voters I see walk into the polls without their handbooks and vote based on the description on the ballot.

I didn't have my handbook, but I did have my cheat sheet.

 

[zoiDman]

I've done an Absentee Ballot since I was about 20 Years Old.

I just calmly fill it out in my Bathrobe. And then on the 8th, I can just drop it off at the Polls without having to stand in line.

BTW - This site has some Real Time Poll Numbers on the POTUS, Senate, House, and Governor races.

Just do a Mouse Over to see what has been Report for each State/District.

56 passed with a 61% margin. Ironically, 64 also passed with a 55% margin. I guess all the vaping children will just have to switch to {Other stuff}.

This Entire Election has been Bizarre.

Sometimes I wonder if I have Slipped on a Slurpee Spill at 7-11 and have Hit my Head. And this is all just some Bad Coma Dream.

Bizarre is a good adjective, but I'm more partial to ludicrous myself, since Trump is going to take PA and win this election.

 

[zoiDman]

I'm looking at PA Right Now.

Trump: 2,655,960
Clinton: 2,653,551

Do they have "Chads" in PA?

BTW - Ludicrous works for Me.

It's funny how it's the red team against the blue team. Reminds me of playing Halo Capture the Flag.

All I know is Today was the Day the United States Changed.

Good. Bad. Or Indifferent. I can't Say.

But Today it Changed.

Ok, I forget, just how are ecigs to be taxed? Any and all components a certain percentage?

Liquid containing nicotine, and any devices that contain liquid that contains nicotine. As for how exactly they will be taxed, from what I can tell, it's up to the Board of Equalization to determine what would be equivalent to $2.87 a pack.

I read that its only the tax going up , meaning if the tax was $1 now it will be $1.07, not sure if its correct
