Looks like the "unamended" version is recommended passage- this also appears to include "smokeless" tobacco products, thus e-cigs. Is there another Call to Action for Hawaii?? Or am I reading this wrong?
No, e-cigs would not be covered by this act. They are not (at least yet) included within the definition of "tobacco products" under Hawaii's statutes. This measure actually targets small cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, snus, disolvables, all things that actually contain tobacco, for the increase in taxes.
Here is the actual definition of "tobacco products" for purposes of Hawaii's tobacco tax provisions:
"Tobacco products" means tobacco in any form, other than cigarettes or little cigars, that is prepared or intended for consumption or for personal use by humans, including large cigars and any substitutes thereof other than cigarettes that bear the semblance thereof, snuff, chewing or smokeless tobacco, and smoking or pipe tobacco.
Hawaii Revised Statutes 245-1 - Definitions :: Lawserver
The above definition does not reach to encompass nicotine products, or nicotine liquid, which is merely derived from tobacco.
