States push to regulate, tax booming e-cigarette industry | Fox News
Taken from article:
But to some, like New Jersey Democratic Assemblyman Dan Benson, taxing e-cigarettes is not only a fiscal responsibility but also sends an important message to would-be smokers.
If e-cigarettes are taxed less than regular cigarettes, were sending a message out there that theyre somehow safer, and I think the jury is out on that, he recently told a New Jersey radio station.
Me:
Regulation and taxation must be the same for this Bozo. So for the sake of public safety, e-cigs are guilty (read: heavily taxable) until proven innocent. But by the time that "approve" e-cigs, why would they remove the taxes? This will go the way of ......... regulation - taxes are the priority. Can't let the cash cow slip away!
