Closing the E-cigarette Advertising Tax Loophole

US lawmakers seek to end tax deductions for e-cigarette ads amid ban on traditional tobacco advertising since 1971.

Since January 1971, traditional tobacco advertising has been banned in the United States. However, this does not apply to electronic cigarettes.

Currently, US law allows manufacturers to apply for federal tax breaks on advertising costs for e-cigarettes. Congress hopes to close this tax loophole.

Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Richard Blumenthal have reintroduced the "E-cigarette and Tobacco Advertising Tax Subsidies Repeal Act" (S.464). If passed, this legislation would not make e-cigarette advertising illegal, but it would terminate tax deductions for e-cigarette advertising expenses.

Shahin and Blumenthal first introduced the bill in 2019, but so far it has not received enough support in Congress to be approved.
