The Democrats’ proposal to tax e-cigarettes is a terrible idea

Vaping is, whether people like it or not, here to stay. And unfortunately, that includes among many teens, thanks in large part to shameless efforts by vaping companies to illegally market their products to children. That means any policy on e-cigarettes must be crafted with two aims in mind: It must make certain that young people don’t take up traditional smoking, and it must make it easier for adult smokers to quit.
