I read it as:
If there’s 100mg per milliliter…
And 1000ml = 1L
Then the math should be:
100x1000=10,000mg of nic in a liter.
Which in turn means:
10,000/1810=5.52486187845
So $50.33 x 5.53 (even though it should probably be rounded down…) = $278.3249 in tax, per liter.
Again, someone should correct me if I’m wrong. lol (I feel like I flubbed somewhere though. I’m running on 4hrs sleep and probably shouldn’t EVEN be trying to do math right now…)
It is all liquids containing nic that the tax would be applied to if it made it through to law. Surprise surprise JUUL would be a big winner with .7ml pods at 50mg attracting a fraction (about $1) of the tax that a bottle of juice would attract.
That would be awesome then i would just have to convince Australian Customs that it was for personal use and was only a 3 month supply. It would mean that I could get it if I was vaping nearly 70 lts perday of 3mg juice - I have my work cut out for me.
Note my correction. First time around I only calculated for 1 gal. I’ll snag one and relabel it as Valvoline. Coming your way. We’ll work out the details later.
Interesting in its irony, a previous resolution also named HR 4742, (Jan 9, 2018, 115th Congress), entitled, “The Stable Genius Act”. Had the resolution passed, perhaps this “American carnage” would not be upon us
I myself am not finding any newer (Oct 23) information - other than this substitute text flaunting the ludicrous utterly specious nauseatingly sanctimonious official moniker of: “Protecting American Lungs Act of 2019”.
I hereby move that the rules be suspended, and a second substitute resolution title of:
“Raping American Pocket Books While Engendering Misery and Death Act of 2019”
be hereby adopted in the spirit of openness and honesty in government forthwith !
Public comments were closed on October 4, 2019 regarding the FDA’s proposed addition of Propylene Glycol as well as Glycerol (Glycerin, VG) to their list of “Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents in Tobacco Products” (Established List; Proposed Additions; Request for Comments).
A total of 40 public comments were filed with the FDA, all of which can be accessed and read here.
In addition to PG and Glycerin, readers may also find certain salt/flavor constituents of similar interest:
Under the (proposed) Final Rule, all of the above substances will join the FDA’s “Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents (HPHCs)” full listing, already in existence. Ironically (and IMO, a bit comically) it seems that what appears to have been reported in several studies as being the most cytotoxic of flavoring components - Cinnamaldehyde - is absent from the above list of proposed additions, as well as present list.

This August 2019 Congressional Research Service report looks like a detailed and informative document:
“FDA Regulation of Tobacco Products”
