Ray, this certainly seems odd. Does the legislature offer any explanation for this law? Is it to discourage kids from smoking? What would they say is the reason for doing this?
I have spoken to several legislators today (as you might imagine, they are getting some calls) and none of them remembered this vote.
Originally, there was a proposal to change the way these items were taxed. We argued about that at the time.
With so many bills, I simply must have missed the change on this one.
I am sure it has to do with children. Doesn't it always?
