Last month, I bought a nicotine-free herbal vaporizer, and something weird happened: the price tag didn’t have that annoying “tobacco tax” line.
No extra $3.50, no hidden fees—just the sticker price. Turns out, it’s not a sale.
It’s a legal loophole.
The FDA taxes “tobacco products,” which are defined as containing nicotine or made from tobacco.
My herbal vape? It uses dried mint and chamomile—no nicotine, no tobacco.
By law, it’s not a “tobacco product,” so no tax. That’s why it’s $5 cheaper than my old nicotine vape.
The government’s own rules made it cheaper. Wild, right?
