Hawaii has a bill that will increase the tax on cigarettes by $3.20.
The proposed legislation comes as some state lawmakers are looking to close a loophole in the state’s tobacco tax law that makes smokeless tobacco products and little cigars cost-friendlier alternatives to cigarettes.
What are those legislators drinking or has the sun cooked their brains? This makes no sense at all.
Crack. Fizz. Gulp. Ahhhhhh. Is there a drinking experience more classically Australian than ripping the ring-pull off a beer? "The visceral pleasure from that first crack of a beer can is identical to popping a champagne cork," says wine and drinks writer Mike Bennie. "There's also huge appeal in the tinnie's nostalgia factor."
The Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill (‘Tobacco Bill’), which is open for comment until 9 August 2018, imposes draconian new rules and restrictions on the sale and use of tobacco products, and controversially places electronic delivery systems (e-cigarettes or “vapes”) under harsh regulation.
The Milwaukee Bucks will designate as non-smoking not only the new Fiserv Forum but also the entire 30-acre arena district. This ban includes e-cigarettes.
