and a call to action on the casaa site here... CASAA: Call to Action: Maryland Wants to Raise the Tax on Smokeless Tobacco from 30% to 95%

Two bills have been introduced in Maryland that would increase Maryland's tax on "other tobacco products" from 30% to 95% of the wholesale price. While these bills do not immediately tax e-cigarettes, we expect that if passed, there will be an effort next year to define e-cigarettes as "other tobacco products" and tax them accordingly. CASAA members are asked to fight against this outrageous tax on an incredibly low-risk alternative to smoking.

Didn't the lawmakers realize that when they jacked the tax on cigs, we just went next door to buy them. MD lost out. I live 5 mins. from WV, and 10 to PA. I recall going to OC, and driving up to Dela for cartons. Same with the sunday law, I'm still buying, but I'm driving over to WV.
