Our team recently attended, and presented at, the 100th Annual Meeting of the Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA) Tobacco Tax Section in Washington, D.C., which brought together state tobacco tax administrators, excise tax professionals, attorneys general, compliance officers, tax filing solution providers, and other industry stakeholders. Despite the challenge of navigating our Nation’s Capital in light of preparation for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, we are glad we had the opportunity to attend and connect with colleagues to advance thought leadership in the tobacco and nicotine industry. The meeting included a line-up of speakers who discussed topics highly relevant to industry, and we wanted to highlight a few themes that emerged related to state vapor and nicotine product directories, nicotine analogues, enforcement, and destruction of illicit vapor products.
