Yeah, its confusing. What I understand after reading this is that this allows liquid nicotine in vape juice to be taxed just like tobacco. However, nicotine itself is still in the Poison Act.
thank you so much! if that's the case, then i'm not sure what's the exact phrasing/grounds for the objections from the 'health ngos'.... is it the ratio/volume? hmm...
Probably because the delisting is not follwed by any effort to make it a controlled substance at least? Just my guess.
