OLYMPIA, March 6.If youre going to be around the Capitol sundial Saturday at noon, youre going to see what promises to be one of the most amazing spectacles ever witnessed at a statehouse protest a angry crowd that literally fumes.
Merchants and users of electronic cigarettes are hoping for a throng a thousand strong. Theyll be blowing some the Legislatures way. But there wont be a cough in a carload because its not smoke, its vapor. Right now lawmakers are considering a proposal that would impose such high taxes on the burgeoning e-cigarette trade that it might well snuff the biz. Advocates say a cigarette is a cigarette, and it ought to be taxed like one. Frustrated vapers say the Legislature doesnt have a clue.
