NEJM perspective argues for higher tax rates for cigarettes than for vapor products

[DC2]

Why not, things like milk and vegetables could have no tax, unless you're allergic or lactose intolerant. We can install monitors in cars and the faster you drive, the more gas costs. Buying twinkies comes with a high tax, rice cakes are tax free, well, carbs, so not quite tax free.

I think you've stumbled upon the solution to America's budgetary issues.

Can you even begin to imagine the tax that would be put on a motorcycle?

And those that didn't die out of smoking shall have their tobacco taxes reimbursed...

Yes, and they will need them to offset the increased taxes from the sins of getting old.

Okay, so how do we use this information to fight things like this?
Bill Text - SBX2-13 Public health: cigarette and tobacco products: electronic cigarettes: taxes: California Health Care, Research, and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2015.

This bill increases cigarette taxes by $2 per pack, which I know some are for, but they also want to tax e-cigarettes at an equivalent rate, you know, for the children.
