Ouch....that will definitely hurt the purse. I guess government wants their cut no matter where you live.

yes, they are afraid to loose money from the tobacco taxes so they are going to extend them to e-cigs...it's not a big deal for advanced users (we are italians, we can get around it ) but the newbs that buy in non on-line shops will suffer from it and smokers will not be tempted to switch to e-cigs...

Everybody has to get a piece, eh? <sigh> I wonder why governments can't subsidize the e-cig industry, lol. Isn't that a novel thought? Something that is less harmful than smoking, has local business that contributes to the tax base and is fun. <shakes himself awake>

that is what a non corrupt society would do, but governments are puppets in the hands of the lobbies, and we know Philip Morris and his friends will not let that happen...
P.S: thanks Chrissie
