OK this is S. Korea but American vaping groups might consider a similar strategy if

tobacco association to sue over e-cigarette taxes
"The Korea Electronic Cigarette Association said it is planning to file a constitutional lawsuit over the tax rate on liquid e-cigarettes known as “dipping tobacco.”
The association argues the tax is 6.6 times higher than the rate applied to conventional cigarettes, despite it being less harmful."
"The trade association stresses that dipping tobacco was the first product approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a modified risk tobacco product in 2019. It said the US FDA has acknowledged that it is scientifically correct to say these dipping tobacco products “can reduce the risk of oral cancer, heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis” when used as an alternative to cigarettes."
