What are your thoughts of the ecig tax?

What are your thoughts of the proposed ecig taxes? In NJ, it will exponentially increase the price of ecigs and eliquids. Although we are OK with some taxation, we feel this is excessive and will hurt our industry- especially small companies like us.

Another Government fleecing of the public to further their Liberal socialistic programs.

I know nothing about the NJ tax, but they should be forced to justify it, otherwise anything more than standard sales tax is BS. The high sin taxes on cigarettes are supposed to be for the higher medical expenses smokers will allegedly have when they get older that the government may have to take care of. If they can't prove that e-cigs are harmful then how can they justify a similar tax?

I think that is their biggest struggle with the tax: they do not know how to classify ecigs. We understand that everything gets taxed, we just want it to be fair so that ecigs remain affordable to everyone.
