Starting in July, Indiana will tax e-cigarettes and new products like nicotine gummies for the first time.
The General Assembly passed a 25% sales tax on vape cartridges last year but changed their minds this year and lowered it to 15%.
Legislators said last year their goal was to make the tax the equivalent of what smokers pay per pack, not higher or lower, and describe the reduction as an attempt to better calibrate that effort.
The new law adds a first-ever tax of 40 cents an ounce on alternative nicotine products like gummies, lozenges, and patches.
