BURLINGTON, Vermont — With vaping on the rise among teenagers and adults alike, a 92% tax on e-cigarettes is set to go into effect Monday in Vermont.
Wholesale dealers and consumers must abide by rule changes around the 92% excise tax — a "Tobacco Products Tax" — starting July 1. The legislation, which expanded items that can be taxed, passed this year.

Examples include:
- E-cigarettes.
