The Louisiana Senate Finance Cmte amended a cigarette tax bill (HB 119) to further increase the cigarette tax to $1/pack, and (at request of Reynolds) to also impose a $.05/ml tax on e-liquid (i.e. $1.50 tax on a 30ml bottle); Cmte approves the bill, full Senate vote scheduled today.

CASAA Call to Action urges Louisiana vapers to oppose e-liquid tax in HB 119
CASAA: Louisiana Call to Action! Take action to oppose a new tax on vapor products (HB 119).
It appears that Reynolds' lobbyists will try amending cigarette tax hike bills (that are going to pass) to also tax e-liquid by the ml.
