I saw this on TV today so I don't have a link.
The State republican party is planning to introduce legislation to increase the tax on cigs by $1 a pack, along with an increase in gas tax, the purpose being to pay for road repair. I couldn't find any reference to this tax being applied to vaping, but since they now have vaping corralled to where it would be easier to tax I have a feeling that's likely to happen.
If it does go into debate with a tax on vaping included it could give us a clue to where the States are looking to go.
Republican Governor Pence and the democratic pols are opposing this bill. Pence on the grounds of not increasing taxes, the democrats on the grounds of it being a retrogressive tax. At least that's what Pence gave as his reason. The commentators quoted the democrat's reason.
None of the talking heads were willing to opine on which side would prevail.
