10% is nothing really. Price change will be minimal and people will keep buying. This is what they have been doing anyway, increase little bit at a time so everyone wont really feel the pinch. If gov really want people to stop smoking then do the australian way, increase from $10 -> $17 which surely will shock most people and most will just stop for good.

Regardless, we are glad that we're out of that direct tobacco tax equation. What matters now is how will it affect the possibility for legalisation of ecig here.

We are far from ecig legalization. 2 main reasons.

1. Ecig not fda approve. Content and manufacturing not up to standards

2. The country care for citizens. Juveniles will have access to ecig.

Blah blah blah, my ...!

Even if it's FDA approved and the manufacturing is being regulated.. I feel it will still be a far-fetch idea that it will be legalised here :(

Just saw in another thread, Fox News was talking about ecig. NY and Chicago are still banning the ecig at the moment. Sometimes I wonder if this is just a game for the GAHMEN to play with while they are unsure of the long-term implications on the tobacco economy and taxes.

well, i am glad that i've made the change, and it is by chance that i got stuck to vaping and quit smoking soon after .
it is because of the high cost of cigarettes that made me to look for an alternative, and keep trying new attys and juices to keep away from cigarettes.
some of my peers went back to smoking after trying out e cigs. i wish them good luck.
legislation or not, even after packages seized by the miw, im still still here vaping .
its all about the money!!
