ALBUQUERQUE STATE SENATOR CISCO MCSORLEY WANTS TO TAX E-CIGARETTES BASED ON THEIR NICOTINE CONTENT … AND THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS HE’LL INTRODUCE ANOTHER LEGISLATIVE BILL IN JANUARY THAT WOULD DO THAT.
MCSORLEY SAYS HIS MEASURE … WHICH DIDN’T CLEAR ITS FIRST COMMITTEE IN THE 2015 SESSION … WOULD PUT AN EXCISE TAX OF 4 CENTS ON E-CIGARETTES FOR EVERY MILLIGRAM OF NICOTINE. IT WOULD ALSO TAX OTHER VAPING PRODUCTS. AND MANUFACTURERS WOULD HAVE TO IDENTIFY HOW MUCH NICOTINE IS IN THEIR PRODUCT.
THE SALE OF E-CIGARETTES IS BANNED IN NEW MEXICO TO PEOPLE UNDER 18.
