Tobacco tax; tax ENDS product and vapor products and use revenue for UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute.

HB 1845 imposes a new excise tax on "ENDS products" (nicotine vape cartridges) and "vapor products" (e-cigarettes), which are now explicitly defined under Mississippi's tobacco tax law. This tax applies to sellers of these products and generates revenue that must be deposited into a dedicated fund for the University of Mississippi Medical Center's Cancer Center and Research Institute. The bill creates a special state fund to ensure these tax revenues directly support the cancer center's operations and research, as specified in the law. It does not affect traditional tobacco products like cigarettes or cigars.
