In the end, I would find extreme HUMOR in all this wasted money (billions) that will be spent demonizing vaping, if they can't tax it. I know that is unlikely to happen, but it would be funny if they spent BILLIONS to get their grubby paws on taxing vaping, and it was a no go.
But the state and others investing into media hype and campaigning, know they are going to get what they want. The stage is already being set to get the lemmings to support the taxation of vaping.
