Government controls 100% of your money, sayeth The Supremes in re 0bamacare.
Get used to it.
How long before we see electronic joints on the market where pot is legal? I’ll bet the companies who market the electronic cigarettes are already on it. It would be a lot easier on the throat. (I heard.)
It’s okay. Chief Justice Roberts says government can make you do anything it wants as long as it uses taxation to enforce the law. Of course, he’s an idiot.
For the children no doubt.
Invent product that drastically reduces the main problem with cigaretets which is second had smoke and carccinogens in smoke...
TAX IT TO DEATH!!!!!
They told people to stop smoking and now tax revenue from cigarettes are going down and they are FURIOUS!
Time to find a new revenue source.
That is just insane. When someone uses an e-cigarette that means one less person smoking real cigarettes. For some reason it has become fashionable on the left to bash e-cigarettes. This just shows how herdlike they are.
The nicotine in eCigs is not from tobacco, but various veggies. Not being a tobacco product, it cannot have a tobacco tax. This irritates the little tax commies. The tax is on nicotine itself to make up for the loss of tobacco taxes.
As usual, it will create a huge black market to avoid the tax. Politicians learned nothing during Prohibition or ridiculous “sin” taxes...unless they have a hand in the black markets.
Niacin, a B vitamin, was discovered when a scientist was studying nicotine. It is recommended you take the niacinimide form. (I do not remember the correct spelling for it.) Niacin, for some people, tends to cause flushing and a racing heartbeat. No, I do not have the study (many decades ago) on hand.
The author needs to read up on the "Whiskey Rebellion". This ain't nothin' new. Despicable, but nothing new.
