Kentucky – Now is the Time
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”12″][vc_column_text]Kentucky legislators are coming after your wallet. They need to make up a budget shortfall somehow and instead of spending more wisely, they’re targeting your wallets. This affects us all – consumers and retailers. [/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Here’s just a hint of what they’re proposing:
- $1-per-pack cigarette tax increase
- $1-per-can moist snuff tax increase
- $1.19 tax on vapor products

SMOKERS / DIPPERS
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”1″ up=”25″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Legislators are considering drastically increasing the state taxes on cigarettes and moist snuff. There are proposals for a $1 increase on the price of each pack of cigarettes and can of moist snuff. This would more than double the tax on a pack of cigarettes and increase the tax on a can of moist snuff by 526 percent.

VAPERS
[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”1″ up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]
Legislators in Kentucky are considering a new $1.19 tax on e-cigarettes. Make your voice heard. Legislators need to hear that you are opposed to these taxes. Tell lawmakers that you don’t want to help line the hospitals’ pockets.
If legislators need to fill budget holes they should consider reducing spending or fairly taxing the whole population, not just adult vapers.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”1″ up=”22″ down=”0″]

Kentucky hospitals want even more money – and now they’re coming after your bottom line. Legislators are considering drastically increasing the state taxes on cigarettes and moist snuff. There are proposals for a $1 increase on the price of each pack of cigarettes and can of moist snuff.
