What is the point of taxing the e-cigs? They are supposedly less harmful than real cigarettes and are a way to wean people off of the real ones. Isn’t that part of the point of the high taxes on cigarettes to begin with. Politicians just want mo money to piss away and line their own pockets with.
There are no short-term concerns, but long-term effects are pretty much an unknown. Still, seems dumb to tax this any further than the standard taxes that apply to generally any product that has no proven health risks.
This is a tax grab on a new industry and a push by large tobacco companies to overtake a new market. They aim to push out small business and other vendors by wielding the legislative sword. Enacting the tax and associated red tape will drown the little guy.
Will you should look into this.
No proven health risks? Moron.
Nicotine is pharmacologcally active. That’s why people smoke. You breathe it in against your will long enough and you too will be addicted. We don’t need nicotine in the air everywhere we go.

South Carolina Association of Taxpayers? Really? SCAT? Someone thought that was a good idea?
Smirks, Got any idea how many people “don’t know scat”?

So the extension of SCAT’s logic is that if gas taxes went up and people started carpooling, it would be okay to institute a new car pool tax?
Actually SCAT rescinded their support in a letter to the chairman. They were lied to about the bill.

Hell, if they were really concerned about the effects of cigs, they should give the damn things away.
It’s about the fucking money.

So SCAT’s cool with one arbitrary group of people being taxed more, as long as some other arbitrary group of people gets taxed less? What’s the point in that?

Last night had 2 e-cigs blown in my face at an airport which was smoke free. Smoke free places have been hard one and I’m not letting these scumbags fill them with poison. If it says smoke free, that means nicotine and glycerol free too. Smoke free means e-cig free too. Spread the word. Do not let our air quality be filled with poisons.
