The Email: In response to the damage already done in Pennsylvania, Representative Jeff Wheeland is introducing HB 2342, which will replace the 40% wholesale tax on all v***r products with a 5¢/ml tax on e-liquid.
Pennsylvania’s 40% wholesale tax on v***r products is completely unworkable. Dozens of shops have already closed in advance of the effective date because they are unable to afford paying 40% more on products they sell in addition to paying a 40% floor tax on all of their inventory as of October 1, 2016. There is also a stark realization that Pennsylvania consumers will likely purchase v***r products from out of state to avoid the punitive tax.
Take action NOW and urge your Pennsylvania lawmakers
to support a more manageable tax on v***r products.
Take Action - Send a Message
CASAA is opposed to any extra taxes on v***r products. We believe it is inappropriate to punish former smokers and would-be switchers for making healthier choices. Extra taxes also send the confusing and inaccurate message to consumers that v***r products carry risks similar to smoking. There is no credible science to support this notion.
However, CASAA is supportive of efforts that reduce taxes imposed on v***r products, like this effort in Pennsylvania. Please take action now and help Pennsylvania set an example for the rest of the country by reducing the extra tax on v***r products.
