Lawmakers Consider Taxes On Vaping And E-Cigarettes

(Olympia, WA)  --  Washington state lawmakers are considering imposing taxes on the sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products.  Seattle Representative Gerry Pollet says the e-cigarette and vape industries have existed "under the radar" and aren't paying their fair share of taxes as a result.  Those who sell the products oppose the measure, saying a spike in prices may put them out of business.  Testimony on the measure is slated for today before the House Finance Committee.
