It is too easy to make your own
Guess they’ll go back to safer things like cigarettes; doesn’t kill you so quickly.
I stopped by a local convenience store to gas up. When I went in to pay, a woman was paying over $200 for several cartons of cigarettes.
I could have got a nice new TV for less than that.
BTW, it is run by Indians.
Big tobacco pushing to get customers back?
My state has the same age and Identification requirements for vaping equipment and supplies as it does for tobacco.
After 40 years smoking tobacco, I started vaping,gradually reducing the nicotine down to zero and quitting very easily.
The best thing I ever did.
Well, there ya’ go. The tax plan worked.
“The iron law of Supply and Demand works.”
The iron law of supplying politicians with money and they demand more.
“More than 80% of patients surveyed reported using products containing THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The CDC has identified vitamin E acetate, a potentially dangerous additive to vaping products, in 29 patient fluid samples.”
Saw a banner on OAN this weekend on that only 4 vaping products are involved in all the cases causing lung problems.
So I did some research (is was that or clean house). ALL of them are designed as products to be mixed with THC.
I also saw the sale of vitamin E acetate for vaping on the net.
This is a lot of the usual “We care therefore we can tax.” instead of getting to the root of the problem.
And the sellers of these products will turn to a tried-and-true remedy: black markets.
This is not “supply and demand”,it’s tyranny but you’re OK with it aren’t you comrade?
Taxes, is there anything they can’t do?
“Kathleen Hambleton once used to spend $100 a week on Marlboro Reds....snip
After lozenges, patches and hypnosis failed to help Hambleton quit, she tried vaping. She is convinced she is healthier now and spends less than $40 per month on her vaping supplies.”
So she paid $400 a month and probably 85% of that was fed, state, and local tax, say $340 government income. When she switched to vaping she spent $40 a month, paying let’s assume a 6% sales tax or $2.40 government income.
It is very easy to see where the health crisis is, and why stiff taxes solve the health crisis.
