Hey vapers the tax man is coming

You'd think it couldn't get any worse than with the way the deeming Regs are, but when they start with the sin taxes, on relatively safe products I might add, it's making me rethink my decision not to hoard some equipment while the getting's good.

While the tax angle mentioned in this post gets a "duh", the true value and message of this article by Gary Wood is the fact based reality of what vaping means in health improvement, lives saved, lower health care costs - and how that flies in the face of the absurdity and hypocrisy of our double-speaking elected officials. It's a great read, but it's not really about taxes.

At the same time the FDA deems things not even remotely associated with tobacco as a tobacco product Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) introduced Senate Bill 450. This bill delegates definitions to bureaucracy while taxing any products the FDA deems to be a tobacco product the same as cigarettes.

There are rumors of Durbin running for governor of Illinois.

I could understand that a lot of ecf probably people think there are bigger anti-vaping bullies, but you gotta a least admit, he's one of the very worst.

Not to worry, nickik. Lots of Illinois governors end up in prison, anyway.

No. Not another dime.
