VAPING NEWS: KENTUCKY [Vape Tax]

“The state House passed a bill on Wednesday to increase taxes on vaping products and other non-cigarette tobacco products, a measure estimated to raise $50 million of new tax revenue over the next two fiscal years. Sponsored by Rep. Jerry Miller, R-Louisville, House Bill 32 would add vaping products to the list of smokable tobacco products such as cigars that are subject to a wholesale tax, with that rate increasing from 15% to 25%. The legislation also doubles the per-unit tax on non-smokable and chewable tobacco products, but does not affect the tax rate on packs of cigarettes. The bill passed the House with a vote of 75 to 17 and now heads to the Senate.”
