" By imposing a tax so high that it will shut down many or all of Vermont’s existing vapor retail stores, Gov. Scott is breaking his promise to voters and leaving adult smokers behind.”
re: VTDigger
Most states have underage nicotine consumption laws on the books now. Why don't states just enforce these underage laws in retail sales, and if need be, make them more severe? Stopping retail nicotine sales to minors would go along way to solving the problem.
I see no problem in taxing, good government cost money, it just should be fair to all state consumers. Taxing does not need to be a weapon of hate, it should be a fair way to help all citizens to pursue happiness.
