Arkansas Vape Advocacy Alliance has successfully lobbied to remove the 10 cents per ml verbiage from HB1565. In fact, any mention of a vapor tax was ultimately removed!
T21 language remains concerning vapor products. This is still a challenge we are working to face. It takes a community of concerned citizens contacting their lawmakers to bring about change. We are harm reduction products, not deadly combustible tobacco.
There is ANOTHER tax bill coming, but it has not been drafted, so we don’t know what it looks like yet. Stay informed and stay vigilant.
AVAA member stores are fighting for YOUR rights to vape! Thank you to everyone who has contacted their representatives and will continue to do so.
