Lawmakers in Hawaii have proposed a 70% tax on e-cigarettes and e-liquid products, in a bid to tackle youth addiction to the devices. Currently, e-cigarettes in Hawaii carry a general excise tax ranging from 4.1% to 4.7%, but combustible cigarettes attract additional taxes. Rep.

However, opponents argue that raising prices could encourage smokers to stick to combustible products. A representative of e-cigarette seller VOLCANO called the 70% tax an “industry killer”.

E-cigarette traders are advised to improve their retail packaging and use approved tax stamps for subsequent taxation while the tax warehouse owners must already have tax numbers to undertake all tax after-tax obligations.
