Im in South Carolina.. Vape what? lol.. Last state to think on vaping, but it is growing..
new shops open and then close down.. or it could be just a simple room off from a gas station..
really wacked here.. wish we had more strong business growth..

According to this map,N.C. is a red state . I know that vaping is not allowed where smoking isn't allowed such as restaurants. But from what I've seen people are vaping everywhere with little consequence. Brick and morter stores are popping up everywhere like weeds. Some of them are growing and doing very well. It makes me a little concerned about what state regulations are looming and ready to be put into law. Very interesting map.
what gets me is the states doing the fda etc's work.. a few more months and regs will hit..
a few more years and we will all see effects.. I have to give it to those that can speak on our behalf..
NC has a tax reg pending if not already passed.. it was 5%, dropped to 3% last time I heard anything. Not sure.

Thanks for posting. I see that for Pennsylvania it says "in 2014 legislators voted to ban e cigarette and vaporizer use in most public places." This only applies within the city limits of Philadelphia. The rest of the state is unregulated, although they are currently trying to regulate state wide and there is a proposed 40% state tax on vapor that we are fighting.
I'd have never thought that California and New York are politically most similar to Utah, Oklahoma, and North Carolina...

Personally, I don't see it as politically similar but similar in the way their state governments rely on profits and taxes related to tobacco sales...many states rely on this money to fund schools and educational programs (terrible idea to begin with). When they see something that threatens the budget (quite significantly) they go into remediation of risk mode and try to stop it via ridiculous regulations and taxes. They certainly are similar in their responses to loss of revenue. Unfortunatly, there are more states to follow...
That could make more sense - I'm not personally up to speed on how tobacco taxation affects each state's budget in comparison to one another, so I'll take your word on that.
I buy juice locally a lot and haven't noticed big taxes or no vaping signs. However I live in the sticks and rarely travel anywhere. My family is cool with it, good enough for me.
