Gov. Christie would be squealing like a pig if someone taxed his donuts, like he taxes tobacco and e-cigarettes.

Gov. Chris Christie’s administration wants to increase taxes on electronic cigarettes for the sake of the public’s health...
“Our goal is to achieve rough parity with the tax burden on conventional cigarettes.

Those two statements are diametrically opposed, and contradictory.
Mindless bureaucracies and elected criminals can't shed that ol' "because we can" gene...

Can't be bothered with the fact that e-cigarettes are available 100% nicotine free.
Under those circumstances, using the word "parity" is beyond a cynical joke!

He apparently is also trying to plug a budget hole with this measure.

Nanny State PING!

The fat piece of crap is the last person who needs to be lecturing people about health.
