Is there currently a sin tax on other forms of smoking cessation?

[espkh123]

I am trying to find out if there are sin taxes on other forms of smoking cessation.

Minnesota currently has a 95% sin tax on the wholsesale of electronic cigarettes.

Most of the data I am finding currently is about electronic cigarettes not deserving a sin tax and such.

I was hoping maybe on of you guys would know if nicotine gum, lozenges, patches, and inhalers have a sin tax.

Electronic cigarettes are not classed as a smoking cessation device, nor (legally) can they be classed as one.

That you or I have stopped smoking cigarettes whilst using them is irrelevant.

At one time I thought I might quit smoking with an inhaling device sold in my drugstore but on finding it cost $45 I changed my mind.

Yes, it is a racket and they will get to all of us soon.

Those devices are not fun therefore they are not taxed.

If any enjoyment is to be had using a device it's gonna be taxed and/or regulated to death by all the do-gooder scumbags...

...Just sayin'

I believe the last time I bought 'The Patch' there was just sales tax on it. Didn't know of any other taxes imposed.

The patch costs as much as a carton of cigarettes where I come from. What the heck is that?

Vaping is not a sin!
