“Raising taxes on vapor products may increase cigarette sales, according to a study co-authored by Catherine Maclean, a Temple University economics professor. Maclean, along with five other researchers, analyzed the effects of e-cigarette taxes on their prices and sales as well as the sales of other tobacco products in eight states and two large counties. They found that when the price of a vapor product increases, consumers buy less of the product and buy more cigarettes.”
