North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper Signs Four New Bills
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper signed four bills on July 3, including one to establish an e-cigarette product registry.

According to Spectrum News1, on July 3rd, Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina signed four bills on Wednesday. One of these bills includes the creation of a new e-cigarette product registration database.

 

A bill signed by Cooper establishes a registry under the North Carolina Department of Revenue by the end of the year for registering certified aerosol products (such as e-cigarettes) or consumer goods containing nicotine. Manufacturers must obtain certification when selling these products in North Carolina.

 

Salesmen and manufacturers who do not comply with the new regulations will face penalties. Both parties could potentially incur fines of varying amounts, with manufacturers even possibly facing misdemeanor charges.

South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea Constitutional Court Upholds Volume-Based E-Liquid Tax, With Challenged Rates at KRW 370 and KRW 628 per Milliliter
South Korea's Constitutional Court has upheld fixed taxes on nicotine-containing e-cigarette liquids based on solution volume, ruling that challenged provisions imposing KRW 370 per milliliter in individual consumption tax and KRW 628 per milliliter in tobacco consumption tax do not violate the Constitution. The cases stemmed from historical disputes involving importers that reported nicotine as being extracted from tobacco stems rather than leaves. South Korea has since broadened its tobacco definition to include synthetic nicotine, while current tax laws provide reduced rates for certain products not derived from tobacco.
