*The vapor product industry is an important part of the US economy. About $9.2 billion in vapor sales lead to 166,000 jobs and $24.5 billion in economic activity. About 58,430 of these jobs are held by people working for the over 13,480 independent retail vape shops located across the country.

*Based on independent vapor industry data, flavored vapor products account for about 85.7 percent of sales volume. Therefore, a ban on all flavored vapor products would:

** Cause sales to fall by about $8.4 billion and the overall economy would see a $22.4 billion hit.

** Eliminate over 151,850 jobs.

They called their vapes “puffing machines.” They’d thought they were too old to benefit from quitting smoking, but as the VA rightly told them, it is never too late. They were surprised to find themselves feeling better once they quit.

*Of eight states that had e-cigarette taxes prior to 2019, seven saw an increase in proportions of young adult smokers after their state e-cigarette tax went into effect. California had a 34 percent increase in people aged 18-24 who smoked after the passage of an e-cigarette tax. Deleware's increase was 48.6 percent. Pennsylvania passed a 40% wholesale tax on vapor products, which closed 1/3 of the vape shops in that state and increased smoking in the 18-24 year old age group by 19 percent. Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota and West Virginia also say increases in smoking in young adults after passing taxes on vapor products.

*New York State’s 20 percent excise tax on vapor products and nearly 9 percent sales tax also do not apply to the Shinnecock and other tribes. Essentially, Silva said, patrons can spend almost 30 percent less than they normally spend, and nobody has to worry about breaking the law.
