If passed, Senate Bill 6569 will:
Eliminate the definition of e-cigarettes as vapor products and instead define them as a “tobacco product” and a “tobacco substitute.”
Subject e-cigarettes to an unconscionable 95% tax.

Let's get a few things clarified please. The House W&M Committee apparently discussed some budgeting and appropriations bill today (HB2185)

There does not appear to be anything in this bill about electronic cigarettes:

Can you please post some links to where you're getting your information?
