Hennepin County, (twin cities, MN) is considering banning the use of e-cigs.
You don’t suppose the fact that they just raised the tax on a package of cigarettes ($1.50 a pack) in Minnesota has anything to do with it, do you?
What next? Perhaps they should ban patches and gum too, if they want to make sure they collect every tax dollar they can.
I remain deeply suspicious of this story about teens. I think it is about fear of losing the tax dollars.
That is the first part of the fear of loss. The second part is the fear of the loss of money from the pharmaceutical industry which stands to lose BUCKETS of money because e-cigs have proven to be a more effective quit smoking product than anything they can produce.
