[[file:US Rob Gebelhoff.png|center|alt=Rob Gebelhoff Assistant Editor, The Washington Post: "If lawmakers insist on taxing e-cigarettes, fine. But then make sure that taxes for traditional tobacco products — including state and local taxes — remain considerably higher. Use the substitution effect to our advantage.  The vaping industry is a tempting political target. But the proposed tax on its products is the wrong way to reduce the scourge of smoking."|Rob Gebelhoff Assistant Editor, The Washington Post]]
