@HVPGH wow, I didn’t even know that. I found another site not pay-walled. Thank you for the 411.

Doesn’t mean the individual states won’t do it.
They have the idea in their head now and my shit state of Illinois will probably be the first to try and tax it.
2 more years and I’ll be out of this shithole

Thx @HVPGH sure is good to hear that news. Let’s hope they move on to other things and forget about it. This flip flopping of vape restrictions is wearing me down.

Tinfoil hat time, they are thinking about dropping the tax because the only companies that passed the PMTA screening process were tobacco companies, this would mean these companies could potentially be making more money and profiting off of both Tobacco/Vaping markets, I’d venture to guess that we’ll be seeing some potential interesting ingredients in nicotine they dish out and I’m not talking about benzoic acids or other catalysts that improve absorbancy. I’d also expect to see the suppliers keeping on track with making nicotine hard to get without a sort of business license to better defend against the DIY crowd. Question everything.

This is not part of the “Build Back Tax”, but after the city council of Denver passed the flavor ban, the Mayor vetoed it. For that I am grateful !! My worry now is that the State Legislature may take up the issue. I still haven’t gotten a response from the email I sent to my City Council Representative…not even a form letter response.
