According to news from China’s electronic cigarette industry: On March 7, 2014, some lawmakers in Washington State, USA, proposed that the government should raise the tax rate on e-cigarette products to 75% from the original rate.
Prior to this, some lawmakers believed that e-cigarettes are alternatives to other ordinary tobacco products and can help smokers who want to quit tobacco products, thus some lawmakers opposed raising the tax rate on e-cigarettes. However, the proposal was ultimately passed by a vote in the legislature.
In this regard, state legislator REYKDAL believes that before the federal government introduces relevant measures for e-cigarette products, Washington State should raise the tax rate on e-cigarettes.
