California just passed an additional $2.00 a pack tax on cigarettes. I had two packs left out of a carton. When I finished them I took up E-cigs. My intention is to wean myself off of nicotine altogether. I can say just going to the E-cigs I feel a lot better. Cheaper too. Just my way of saying FU to Tom Steyer.
E-cigs are also getting the tax applied.
So, because the units you buy are more efficient...in terms of tobacco delivery.....you will see an increase in e-cig price by about 60% come January.
Closed down my website selling ecigs a few months ago. Selling all my stock to someone in Texas and calling it a wash.
Big tobacco beat us. We knew it was coming, but they finally did it. Had enough lobbyists offering taxes on measurable amounts of nicotine the government folded and took their money.
Steyer has helpfully made sure that ‘e-cigs’ and ‘related devices’ (IE anything which pharmaceutical companies aren’t pushing) will be ‘taxed to equate a pack of cigarettes’ - with nothing at all in the legislation to limit such taxes... That cheaper part is just about to completely disappear.
I really hope that whomever Trump gets into the FDA puts an end to the whole campaign there against vaping.
I went cold turkey at 11:30 AM the day after the election.
I had been thinking about it for months prior.
So far, so good.
Haven’t slipped yet unless you count four pieces of nicotine gum.
