It defines "electronic smoking liquid" and imposes a 40% excise tax on electronic smoking liquids, cigars, and smoking tobacco held in the commonwealth. The excise tax is collected from cigar distributors, wholesalers of electronic smoking liquids, and retailers who fail to show invoices demonstrating the excise has already been paid. The bill also requires consumers to pay the excise tax on any cigars, smoking tobacco, or electronic smoking liquids in their possession if the excise has not been paid.
