On December 11, the Wall Street Journal reported that a proposal to impose a federal tax on e-cigarettes has been removed from the Democratic Party’s health care, education and climate change bills, citing people familiar with the matter.

According to reports, Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (Catherine Cortez Masto) is a member of the Finance Committee. During the difficult re-election campaign, he reportedly promoted the cancellation of taxes and helped to force the deletion.

The deleted clause will impose a tax on e-cigarette products and is intended to be parallel with the existing federal cigarette tax rate of $1.01 per pack.

This tax has caused a lot of criticism from representatives of the steam industry and tobacco harm reduction advocates, who stated that in some cases, it will make e-cigarettes more expensive than combustible cigarettes-this is an anomalous result because people generally believe that e-cigarettes are more expensive than combustible cigarettes. The harm is less than smoking.

Critics also pointed out that taxes will be regressive. According to a recent Galloin poll, Americans with an annual household income of less than $40,000 are more likely to smoke e-cigarettes than high-income groups.

Proponents of e-cigarettes welcomed this decision.

"There is evidence that the new excise tax on e-cigarette products will prevent adults from quitting smoking and close small businesses that are already responding to federal regulations that are hitting the industry," said Gregory Conley, chairman of the American Electronic Cigarette Association.
