Thanks for citing our e-cig research. We estimate that the House tax bill as currently written, by raising ecig taxes twice as much as cigarette taxes, would substantially increase cigarette use. The cigarette industry is oddly silent on this bill--they can't believe their luck! https://twitter.com/TaxFoundation/status/1438211989734580226

"Democrats' tax bill would impose a $100.66 excise tax on every 1,810 milligrams of nicotine, adding approximately $60 in taxes to that 60-milliliter bottle of 18-milligram strength e-liquid."
The added tax on deadly cigarettes? One dollar.
Angry yet?
