My Tobacco Tax Equity Act establishes the 1st federal e-cigarette tax. It will close loopholes exploited by Big Tobacco to avoid the taxes, & it will double the federal tax rate on these products & peg it to inflation so it remains an effective public health tool in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to start taxing e-cigs. The single best way to keep these products out of the hands of kids is to price it out of their range. That’s why we passed taxes on cigarettes years ago, & it’s why I’m introducing a bill later today to start doing the same to e-cigarettes. https://t.co/cvh76mv0CQ — PolitiTweet.org

Studies have shown that even a 10% tax lowers tobacco use by as much as 5%. The @Surgeon_General and @WHO have called it the most effective way to reduce tobacco use. I think the same will be true for e-cigarettes. — PolitiTweet.org
