CASAA: New Hampshire Call to Action: Oppose Gov. Hassan's budget bill (HB 2) which would enact a massive, unjustifiable tax on vapor products
New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan has proposed a massive tax on vapor products and a hike in the tax on smokeless tobacco products. If the Governor's budget bill -- HB 2 -- is enacted, "nicotine vapor products" (all devices and nicotine-containing cartridges and liquids) and smokeless tobacco products would be subject to an enormous tax of 73.94% of wholesale price.
