USA Today: States target e-cigarettes as potential revenue source

Money grab, health concerns, or both? Absent guidance from Washington, states are pressing ahead with their own agendas on electronic cigarettes.


States target e-cigarettes as potential revenue source

It's tough generating interest on this isn't it "Cool_Breeze"? It's almost as if few people really care!

Wait until the taxes are piled on; THEN watch the action begin!

Maybe Obama will give US a "subsidy" to help stop smoking? The IRS could handle it; just put it on the TAX forms! "Do you partake in a smoking cessation program"? Watch the LIARS who can't even FILL an E-Cig say, "YES" to get the FREE STUFF!

Per haps they should tax sperm? The idiots would stop reproducing, maybe?

"It has nothing to do with revenue," Ohio's DeWine said. "It has everything to do with discouraging use." i wonder how large his nose grew after making that statement. it's all about the money

Please post articles dealing with e-cig legislation in the legislative news thread instead of the general news thread. I posted a comment on the other thread on this subject pointing out that there's nothing new in this news story, and that USA Today editors (not state legislatures) want states to tax e-cigs.

Yes, because taxation alone nearly eradicated cigarettes...

LOL! Thief AND a liar...

Notice how they smile whenever they say "the taxes we rob from you, is for the children". Yep, it's for THEIR children's padded allowances and BAIL money.
