Increase the tax on all tobacco products and use at least part of the tax to help pay for subsidies for the poor for buying the newly required health insurance.  Tobacco users should have to pay at least part of the expected cost of their nasty habit.  Since they will have to buy health insurance, unless they are too rich to qualify for the health insurance subsidy they will be getting at least some return from their tobacco tax in the form of the low income subsidy for health insurance. South Dakota and several other states urge the TTB to continue to evaluate methods and standards to differentiate between roll-your-own tobacco and pipe tobacco and to publish rulemaking proposals on this subject for public comment in the near future.

Bynum of the Smith Moore Leatherwood law firm in Greensboro, NC. National Tobacco comments on proposed CHIPRA regulations Comment from Venable, LLP, regarding Notice No. 95 proposed rules regarding tobacco processors. Comment from Altadis USA, Inc. submitted by Peter Buck Feller, Esq., Bethesda, Maryland I have smoked a pack a day for 35 years. I purchased an e-cig and have not had a cigarette in 87 days, and as long as I have my e-cig, I will never go back to smoking. The e-cig is a life saver for thousands of people and me. I am grateful every day for this new thing. I purchased it as a way to cut down on the expense of cigarettes, and ended up just giving tobacco up.The e-cig consists of a battery, an atomizer, and a cartridge which gets filled with juice made from propylene glycol-a common consumer product, water, flavoring, and different strengths of nicotine including 0 mg. It does not kill 400,000+ people a year, or create the thousands of cancer causing toxins produced by burning tobacco. There is no second hand smoke, and the initial cost of the e-cig kit of $50.00-$100.00 makes it unattractive to kids. Its a costly investment, one most likely made by a serious adult smoker who would like to cut down or quit.By banning this product, it will be back to using cancer causing cigarettes for many who have finally found a method that will get them away from tobacco. Doesnt everyone want smokers to quit smoking? I dont know of anyone who wants me or anyone to smoke. I hope that the FDA doesnt want anyone to smoke either.
