BTW - There were 134 Yea Votes out of 148 with 8 Abstentions. That means ONLY 6 People voted No for this Excise Tax.
Kinda talks the wind out of the One Side always Votes for and One Side always Votes against thing.
So there are three issues in Vermont.
1) Age Increase from 18 to 21 (H.27)
2) restricting online purchases (H. 26)
3) 92% excise tax (H.47)
All this will likely pass Vermont's Senate with this much bi-partisan support.
Plus it looks like the excise tax is worded in such a way as to also include DIY nicotine if they choose.
(check the language for me if you will, but it seems to easily cover DIY nic if they want it to..)
So... Vermont is in for a fight. They are asking for an implementation date of July 1 of this year, so they are hoping to push it through fast..
