Reason magazine takes a look at our November ballot initiatives. They don't make exact recommendations, although they do make their feelings known in their commentary. Here's the closing line on Prop 56, the tobacco tax that will also apply to vaping:

In other words, vote No. You can click on the text of the initiative to get more information, including pros and cons.
