“A measure on the November ballot would create Oregon\u2019s first tax on electronic nicotine products and dramatically raise taxes on cigarettes. Opponents of the tax have mounted almost no campaign, raising just $7,000 and inserting two arguments against it in the state voter\u2019s pamphlet, compared to 49 yes arguments from proponents. If voters approve the measure<\/a>, the state would tax all nicotine vape products, including nicotine-containing liquids and the devices people use to vaporize them, at 65% of a product\u2019s wholesale price. The tax would not apply to marijuana-based products. Taxing vaping products would increase prices for buyers, which would make it less affordable, could\u00a0<\/b>help curb what health officials have said is an ever-growing epidemic. The only political action committee campaigning against the proposal, No On 108, has raised $7,000 from four vape shops, one of them in Medford, one in Roseburg and two in Portland.”<\/span><\/p>\n
