Ask Tina 5: Food assistance & tax on vaping products

Rep. Tina Orwall (D-Des Moines) responds to constituent e-mails regarding food assistance programs, and saying that the House budget provides ample funding for them. The second e-mail is about taxing e-cigarettes and vaping products. Orwall says she understands the concern and recognizes that some people are quitting smoking by using these products, she is worried, however, that at their current price point youth are more able to get access to them.
