SFATA Call-To-Action – URGENT UPDATE: Federal Tax Bill Passed In the House
It’s Time To Get VERY Loud!
On Friday, November 19th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed President Biden’s spending package bill referred to as the “Build Back Better” bill.
The original draft of the bill contained increases in the federal cigarette tax and tobacco tax rates, as well as increases to those of eliquid and alternative nicotine products. However, the bill was amended before passing the House vote, and the proposed increases on cigarette and tobacco taxes were removed from the legislation.
The new version of the bill still includes a tax on nicotine-containing e-liquids and alternative nicotine products, such as synthetic nicotine.
Specifically, Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill assesses a tax of $50.33 per 1,810 milligrams of taxable nicotine, which threatens to significantly increase product costs.
This bill is dangerous and cannot be allowed to pass!
We are asking you to speak up for yourselves and to encourage your patrons to do the same. To assist you, we have included ready-to-use graphics below.
We need your support – even if you already acted on this bill. Continuously applied pressure is required, and that means we do not relent until the tax is removed!
Stress at work? For smokers who want to quit, the benefits derive from the gestures given by the use of zero-risk devices
The study determined for the first time that the use of reduced-risk products can significantly reduce nicotine addiction, especially in the presence of harmful behavioural aspects.

LATEST FROM REGULATOR WATCH: Taxed to Death | Biden Vape Tax Pushes People Back to Smoking
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch
U.S. President Joe Biden’s proposed federal vape tax is one step closer to fruition with the passage this week of the Build Back Better Act by the U.S. House of Representatives.
If the bill passes the Senate, costs will skyrocket for safer nicotine products and push millions back to smoking.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Michael Pesko, one of the country’s leading economists when it comes to analyzing the effect of e-cigarette taxes. Hear about the alarming research that shows how the new tax (which is applied to nicotine in e-cigarettes only) would dramatically increase teen smoking by hundreds of thousands and adult smoking by the millions.
