If it weren’t for vaping, I’d be dead by nor or at least still smoke. I make my own e-juice, it’s easy and cheap - maybe 1/10th the cost of smoking.

But it’s all about the money with libs, nothing else matters.

Vaping is a white trash habit.
Dirt-poor people always find the money to pay for vapes, cigs, reefer, lottery tickets, & tattoos.

Higher taxes won’t discourage bad habits.
Will just make them poorer while giving more $$ to government & fueling more demands to fix ‘income inequality.”

Didn’t I just read that the progs in NH are trying to get a sales tax and income tax?

I quit smoking the day I bought a good ecig. I slowly have cut the nicotine down to almost nothing and can go without for longer and longer times.
Soon I’ll be done.

I stopped cold turkey, made easier by still
carrying an open pack of smokes in my shirt pocket.
It was easier to dismiss the urge to get a cigarette
out of my pocket than it was to not have any smokes,
and be thinking about it all day.

The hardest times were after a meal, so I’d get up and
not linger when done eating. Beyond that, I dreamt about
smoking for a year or two after I quit, but that went away.

Doesn’t matter—to each his own. Don’t smoke if you don’t like it (and I am a nonsmoker, BTW).

I’m kinda biased on this topic. COPD got my dad. And my dad was not one I’d challenged even in my teen years when young boys think they could. I could always outrun him. But if he ever caught me....

Not that it ever came to that.

I smoked for 30 years and quit overnight with ecigs. Been off regular cigs for over 10 years.

I stick with tobacco flavors -at least as long as government allows it.

They always are trying.

They say it will lower property tax ... which is a big fat lie. Ask the people in NJ (where I grew up). They were told the same thing and the property taxes never went down, just up.

"We know the group that is most sensitive to price is teenager," he told CBS MoneyWatch.

Wrong. To a teenager, all income is disposable. They spend and don't save. Taxing at 92% is nothing short of an obscene money-grab by the State of Vermont and the lying politician bastards know it.

Pikers. Gov. Pritzger raised gas taxes 100% in Illinois.
