    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-socialist-budget-no-tax-hike-poor-black-smokers-deroy-murdock

    Joe Biden repeatedly has pledged to raise taxes only on the affluent.

    "I promise you, you have my word, if you make less than $400,000 a year, you won’t pay a penny more in taxes," the president told voters in St. Paul, Minnesota on October 30, 2020. According to Americans for Tax Reform, Biden publicly expressed these or equivalent remarks at least 41 other times.

    According to the Tax Foundation, Biden’s 2,456-page bill, as currently written, proposes a 100 percent increase in cigarette taxes to $2.01 per pack. ($2.00 would be more manageable, but whatever.) The dipping-tobacco tax would climb to $2.01 per can -- up 1,677 percent. The tax on snus tobacco pouches would rise to $2.40 per tin -- up 2,892 percent.

    Biden envisions a brand-new federal Vaping Tax. The tax would go from $0.00 today to $2.22 per vaping pod. (What a random number. Why not $2.00 or $2.50? "No, Kamala. Let’s make it $2.22. That will fool ’em!"). Mathematically, the percentage increase in such a Vaping Tax rate would be infinite.

    image.thumb.png.ba1dc3af664bf3963acd7290405f4bf0.png

    Is this Biden’s idea of "equity?"

    Alas, non-smokers would see their taxes climb, too. The Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation calculated on September 22 that Biden’s bill would hike taxes on:

    •4.7 percent of those who earn between $40,000 and $50,000

    •8.8 percent between $50,000 and $75,000

    •17.9 percent between $75,000 and $100,000

    •34.8 percent between $100,000 and $200,000

    These figures turn Biden's $400,000-tax comments into ashes. Indeed, Biden’s avarice recalls a Beatles song:

    "If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street.

    "If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.

    "If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat.

    "If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet."

            Actually, taxing the fuck out of those products doesn't bother me.

              I agree. It’s a disgusting habit.

                It helped me quit after 28 years.

                problem is that it’s being abused and just used as another vice.

                im coming up 5 years nicotine free!

                I give a lot of credit

                to vaping.

                  Biden said he would only tax Billionaires and people making over $400,000.00...another lie 100 times worse than Trump.

                      It is not the point, They plan on using the tax money from said products to pay for medi cade midi care and if they keep this shit up nobody will be buying it and then what? The best thing that could ever happen to DC would be a adam bo** dropped on them while they are all there, Drain the swamp.

                        Let me look it up. I’m pretty sure I liked the caramel/tobacco stuff and even some odd ball stuff like cornbread lol

                        i started vaping long before all these idiots ruined it.  Get a good device and go to a good shop who will help get you set up.  Once you enjoy the vape like a cigarette then focus on reducing the nicotine 

                        these devices can mimic a real cigarette draw

                        once you get to 3 mg your ready to quit
