clarify that point. In a nutshell:<br>
<br>
o State excise tax (a wholesale-level tax) on 'other tobacco products'<br>
would be extended to e-cigarettes that contain nicotine or liquid<br>
with nicotine (known as e-liquid). Thus, there is no excise tax on<br>
such vaping products that are _not_ bundled with nicotine, and, e.g.,<br>
you could continue to vape herbal mixtures all the livelong day, without<br>
paying The Man.<br>
<br>
o Nothwithstanding the above, _even_ e-cigarettes bundled with nicotine<br>
would remain untaxed if FDA-approved as a quitting-smoking (or other<br>
therapeutic) product, and marketed/sold solely as such.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">There are a lot of subtleties on this issue, most of which are, unfortunately, long stories.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

My wild-assed unscientific guess is that rhinoviruses are non-contagious<br>
after six days, but set your personal level of Howard Hughes paranoia to<br>
suit.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;display:inline">No hugs from me, but I suspect my grandchildren have re-raised my immunities.</div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Online sources suggest: Most contagious for first 2 to 3 days of<br>
symtoms, then contagious to a greatly lower levels out to 5-7 days.<br>
Some symptoms, notably a cough, often outlasts the virus significantly.<br>
Incubation period before symptoms is about a day. But basically<br>
virus-shedding trails off steeply two/three days after symptoms begin.<br>
