In otherwords, “how do we tax these damn thing?”
Remember, their ONLY real problem with E Cigs, is “It looks too much like smoking”
The are afraid it will normalize smoking again, that is the REAL Issue they have with e ciggs.
They of course, will make up scary stats, all sorts of problems, and a whole lot of hype to block the facts.
From the article:
A prominent recent critique of electronic smoking devices came in September from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, a group which has been supporting efforts to lump e-cigarettes into anti-tobacco regulations.
RWJF is almost entirely funded by its stock portfolio of Johnson and Johnson, the makers of nicorette among other "smoking cessation" products. e-cigs threaten big Pharma because they are not necessarily being promoted as cessation devices, but have proven to be far more effective than anything from the drug companies. They are also being promoted as a way around smoking bans - and those are the signature legislation of the anti-smoker cartel, which is mostly funded by the Pharma industry and proceeds of the sale of cigarettes.
As always...follow the money..........
Other people like to suck all the joy out of life.
Which is worse?
