20 year smoker no more

My Husband was a 20 year smoker and tried to quit numerous times and failed, but quit after only one month of vaping. Our 8 year old daughter is so proud of him!! Since then he has opened up a vape shop to help others quit. He has a diversity of people coming into his vape shop to get help so, they can quit Smoking cigarettes. We have had police officers, Pharmacist, teachers, not to mention the numerous businesses who send their employees to my husbands shop to help their employees quit for health benefits and so, they don’t stink up the office after coming in from their smoke breaks.. My friends mom quit after smoking for 50 years. She vapes the nicotine free vape just because of the habit of smoking and having something in her hands. I fear that if the Governor hikes the tax up 87% my husband is going to start smoking cigarettes again and lose his business. With that huge Hike in taxes none of the vape shops will be able to stay in business. My husband will probably resort back to smoking Cigarettes. If they are taxing this for the “children” why are they not taxing soda, fast food, energy drinks etc. 87% ???
