Yeah, there's been people trying to ban it or restrict it. I've been against that. What we basically did is we had a bit of what you might call a loophole. We had a nicotine, We had a cigarette tax. We still do cigarette cigars, but vaping had no tax. So we said let's just whatever the product is, let's be agnostic and tax it on nicotine level. You're going to pay a lot more for cigarettes, also e cigarettes and vaping products. And so vaping is now pulled into that and it kills. Not the nicotine. (13:34–13:46)
