(Portland, OR)  --  Senator Ron Wyden is proposing a new e-cigarette tax amid concerns over vaping-related illnesses and deaths across the country.  The Oregon Democrat unveiled the E-cigarette Tax Parity Act in Congress yesterday afternoon.  The bill would expand the definition of tobacco products allowed to be taxed to include alternative nicotine products like e-cigarettes.  So far, 18 other lawmakers have voiced support for the bill.
