Vaping Not Subject To Tobacco Tax! MISSOURI WIN!

The House voted 127-19 to send the bill to Gov. Jay Nixon’s desk. It passed the Senate earlier this year.

This bill exempts e-cigarettes from some restrictions on tobacco sales and advertising, including the state’s 17 cent-per-pack cigarette tax.  The bill states that e-cigarette sales should be subject to local and state sales taxes, but shall not otherwise be taxed or regulated as tobacco products.

People that are choosing a healthier option to smoking will not be penalized for making the change to vaping.
