PSA for non CASAA WA State attempting to lump ecigs as tobacco, for sin tax money

[Wickeddeuce]

So for any WA state resident or people considering now is the time to respond. WA state is lobbying a 95% sin tax on e-cigs lumping them in with tobacco products.

If you are not from WA it might be beneficial to voice your opinions too... remember states are like dominos, when one falls the others fall too...

here are email addresses that i received from CASAA... btw signing up for CASAA tells you this stuff... at the bottom will be just the email addresses.

[Wickeddeuce]

trying to keep this on the front page... the more support the better...

 

[RoseB]

Thanks for posting this. I really hate this state

 

[Wickeddeuce]

Its not just WA, we as vapers have many enemies. We must stand up for ourselves. If you aren't standing for what you believe in you've already lost.

I have voiced my opinion that this is abusing the freedoms that i and my fellow servicemen fight and have sacrificed for.

That's right i play the army card in political matters

 

[DavidOck]

I posted this in the "where's my WA vapers" forum, as well.

Not that the second link under each State Senator takes you to the legislative site, where your response is limited to 1000 characters. The first link for each is a direct email to them, no size limit.

There's also a link on the bill's page to leave a response directly there, approve, disapprove, or neutral (uh, if you're neutral are you going to even go there??), and a space for up to 1000 characters of comment.

Moved to Legislation News. And as there's already an ongoing discussion about this (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-cigs-95-referred-senate-ways-means-cmte.html), closing.
