Exactly my point, a lot of DIY guys are gonna be hit with these taxes and fees that are outrageous to someone not in the business.As a company making e-liquid I can tell you that I'm fine with a tax on nicotine.
Of the ingredients that should be controlled nicotine is the big one. The variation in quality and testing is scary.
If the ingredients meet the standards and are taxed appropriately it won't disrupt the current vape culture aside from to adjust prices. It won't stifle innovation or competition.
Let be real, all addictive substances in the US are taxed, as is the case in any puritanical country. Always a sin tax on any addictive products.
Keep in mind a tax also means the government is less likely to meddle, they just want their piece of the action.
I should also mention nicotine is already more expensive than most of our flavors for good quality nicotine, with legit COA and testing, nitrogen sealed.
Another problem is, it will bankrupt quite a bit, and keep many others from getting into the ring. So far this year 3 of my top 5 favorite companies have gone under, or are closing now because of new laws and restrictions not to mention a couple guys that insurance cancelled and another had a loan defaulted early because vaping became a "high risk business"
