Yep, that's the problem with allowing the government to overtax based on "it's bad for you", even though it's a legal product. They get hooked like an addict on the money, then they will need to lie, cheat, and steal to make up for losses when the product in question no longer sells anymore, but don't worry, I'm sure our tax dollars are hard at work in think tanks all accross the country, figuring out how to illegitimatly demonize ecigs to keep the money rolling in.

I hope those that agreed with the cig sin taxes are welcoming, with open arms, the sin taxes coming attached to something they partake in when the time comes, and it is coming.
