Health, labeling concerns erupt in wake of e-cigarette tax proposal BY ALICE DAY, REPORTER WNPA OLYMPIA NEWS BUREAU

points. Williams led the Spartans with 12. Summers had four points and 10 rebounds. Alyssa Carey scored eight, Avery Summers and Akre each scored five and Clark scored a free throw.
“Still, we played hard both games and I was proud of our effort. We had a great season with 16 wins and another trip to state,” the coach said. “I’ll never take going to state for granted, so many things have to go right to get there. Obvi-
ously, it’s bittersweet when you go two and out, but the experience and competition of the event is amazing. And I’m glad the girls, and especially the seniors, got to experience state many times in their high school basketball careers.”
CUSICK: Three-point game at fourth FROM PAGE 1B
But the third time was the charm for the Panthers, as they got the win, but had to earn it. In their lowest scoring game of the season, Cusick only scored six points in the first quarter and went into the half down 23-18. Bluff said his team stepped up their defense in the second half. “Luckily we were able to dictate a little of that same pressure back in the second half,” Bluff said. He said controlling Selkirk’s Dominic Cain fell to Spirit White, who Bluff said

product.” A 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found more than a quarter-million youth who had previously never smoked, used an e-cigarette. Washington State’s 2012 Healthy Youth Survey showed that four percent of 10th graders used e-cigarettes within 30 days of when the survey was conducted. “We don’t tax the product and we don’t regulate the product,” Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle and co-sponsor of the bill said. “We have to modernize our laws and acknowledge there’s been an evolution in how people deliver the active and addictive product of nicotine.” A tax on such products is part of Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee’s new-revenue package to help fill the funding gap for education. Inslee’s proposed budget for the 2015-2017 biennium projects $18.1 million from a 95
percent tax on the wholesale value of vapor products, which is modeled after the state’s tobacco-product tax. This number is projected to grow to $78.4 million in the following biennium, according to Kim Schmanke, communications director for the Washington State Department of Revenue. Money collected from this 95 percent excise tax on vapor products would be split, with 90 percent of the funds going to the state general fund and 10 percent to a new public health services account. The bill proposal requires the Department of Health to use the funds for tobacco control and prevention programs. Rep. Chris Reykdal, DTumwater, agrees there is significant need to address vapor-product regulation from a health standpoint. However, Reykdal said making the school systems more dependent on vapor products as a tax source is not wise public policy.
