Don’t know why they couldn’t tax the consumable part the same way. It seems like a healthier alternative but I see no escaping the fact that it’s a drug-delivery device and should rightfully come under FDA regulation.
Similar to a cup of coffee or a Coke or energy drinks?
No true conservative would advocate the government tax anything. Maybe you should recheck your politics.
PS I am 72 and have been smoking for more than 1/2 century and have no breathing related problems, no COLD no asthma, no o2 needed. No lung cancer, no wheezing. I'll someday die of something but I will lay odd's it won't be smoking related.
