Editor,
House Bill 372 categorizes E-cigarettes with conventional cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco for the purpose of taxation. While I applaud efforts to control the distribution of addictive substances, like nicotine, through age and vendor restrictions, taxing E-cigarettes proportionally to conventional cigarettes for the sake of limiting distribution to children is, in itself, flawed logic; and there are numerous other flaws with this proposal.
