Hawaii Bill To Tax All E-Cigarette-Related Products

Bills are proposed to tax at 70% anything e-cigarette-related in Hawaii, including accessories such as carry cases and lanyards. This would do three things:
  • Drive sales out-of-State and destroy local businesses
  • Establish a dangerous precedent in which products that save lives are heavily taxed
  • Heavily tax anything to do with saving life, even when not the core product
What next: super-taxation on low-fat foods, and even on the shopping bags used to carry them?

The primary reason for this Bill is to protect pharmaceutical sales, and it needs to be strongly resisted.

Threat to YOUR internet freedom - action needed

As e-cigarette users we have had far too much already of unwarranted government intervention paid for by giant corporations who want to crush competitors. Now we have two Bills proposed that will give them the legal right to take down any site they want to. This power is piggybacked onto a piracy Bill that may look, on the face of it, to be a legitimate requirement - but which has a hidden payload. We, as vapers, already know only too well how this works. We also know that well-funded, immoral, commercial agendas can easily influence government agencies to take action directly against the interests of the public good.

You need to act - AND YOU NEED TO ACT NOW:

Stop the SOPA - PIPA Bills
