Washington DC's Electronic cigarette Tax

District of Columbia put in place a new tax on all vapor products of 67% percent, and as articles in the Daily Caller describes, this taxation may place several vape stores out-of-business. In accordance with the post: "A steady stream of customers poured in to M Street vape Friday afternoon to get flavor refills for their vaporizers, but they may not be able to do that for long after a new city law takes effect.

Starting Oct. 1, a new 67 percent excise tax on vapor products takes effect in Washington, D.C., and it will likely put the shop out of business, its owner says. The tax will treat e-cigarettes just the same as regular tobacco-burning cigarettes, despite the fact that there is no actual tobacco being burnt, but a juice containing nicotine that is heated to produce water vapor. “This may be among the most crazy "public health" guidelines we've heard of.

Certainly, it is going to set several vaping stores out-of-business, leading to substantial amounts of ex-smokers back to smoking. The coverage shields tobacco gains at the cost of people's health. Paradoxically, Chicago is contemplating the same taxes on cigarette under the guise of attempting to combat Big Tobacco. The remaining narrative is the fact that this kind of tax would have been something special for Big Tobacco by shielding smokes from competition in the considerably safer vaping goods. If passed, this plan can aid to re-normalize smoking and can cost lifestyles.
