NYS trying to ban the sale of e-liquid
Again from CASAA.org; Assembly Bill 296 & Senate Bill 722 would redefine a taxed “tobacco product” to include “e-cigarette cartridges,” subjecting them to New York State’s 75% wholesale tax on “tobacco products.” You can voice your opinion on this here
Bill (AB 635) would prohibit the sale of all bottled refill liquids. While there is an exemption provided for instate manufactures that may allow liquid manufacturers in New York to continue doing business, vapers in New York State would still be unable to buy e-liquid products from retailers within the state. An almost identical bill made its way through an Assembly committee last year. You can voice your opinion here
