The House voted to ban all flavored e-cigarette products... AND tobacco products like menthol cigarettes.
Insane. #Vape products SAVE lives. Government should do no HARM. #WeVapeWeVotethehill.com/policy/healthcar…
Researchers using Nielson retail scanner data have found that for every single 0.7 ml pod not sold as a result of increased taxes on vaping, sales of cigarettes rise by 6 *packs*. So how exactly are vaping taxes a good public health policy? ecigarettereviewed.com/vapin…

.@RepAndyBarr glad to hear you're a strong advocate of alternative therapies for my fellow veterans. The people of Kentucky want to know, are you for medical marijuana? I'm for it. Let's hear from you.

It’s time to ask your mom, auntie, & your granny to make the call to Frankfort in support of medical marijuana, hb136.
Ask them to call the legislative hotline:
(800) 372-7181
somerset-kentucky.com/news/l…
Everyone needs to not only make this 2 minute call themselves - but have a couple (or a dozen) of your friends & family to call as well!
Your senator may already be a YES, so we need Kentuckians from every district putting on the pressure!

Kentucky lawmakers are working hard to increase the state's cigarette-smoking tax base.
“If this tax were imposed on a national level, about 1.8 million smokers would be deterred from quitting in a 10-year period.”

Over 10,000 Kentuckians die each year due to smoking-related illnesses.
Expect this number to increase when this new tax is enacted.

Expecting "$50 million over 2 years" from Kentucky's proposed vaping tax is absurd.
In 2016 Minnesota raised $5.7 million from vapor products (with one of the highest vaping tax rates in the US).
North Carolina collected $4.5M in taxes on vapor products.
