Friends, really crazy action being taken by Hawaii State Government that will directly impact the sale of ecigarettes here. PLEASE sign
this petition now.
And you can mention in the petition comments that, while it's great to prevent minors from buying ecigs, the way the Senate Bill is written, every battery, electric plug, wall heater and light bulb COULD be used as a vaporizing device and thus taxed at
70%!
See actual language from the bill...
. ecigarette means any mechanical heating element, battery, or electronic circuit, which can be used to deliver a vapor of nicotine or any other substances, and the use or inhalation of which simulates smoking. The term shall include any such device, whether manufactured, distributed, marketed, or sold as an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, any cartridge or component of the device or related product, or under any other product name or descriptor.
Further discussion about this bill can be found
here on ECF. And here is the
CASAA page if you have not seen it already.
Mahalo for your attention to this!
