FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

Anyone who thinks the FDA, or any government agency, actually cares about the health or well being of the citizens is being ignorant. Its all about money. For the government to try to stop e cigs from being legal, keeping (other stuff) illegal, while analog cigarettes remain fully legal proves this. Everyone knows analog cigarettes are dangerous and deadly. But the potential financial disaster the could happen if analog cigarettes became illegal is something the government wants to avoid (but won't openly admit). Electronic cigarettes takes sales away from analog cigarettes. Until the government can find a way to make exorbitant tax revenue from the sale of e cigs, or until the FDA receives large enough bribes from the e cig industry, they are going to keep trying to prevent US citizens from being abld to buy them. Please reevaluate your beliefs of a government who actually gives a s**t about its people if you think that.
On another note, I do think about the consideration of what the long term effects of e cigs may due to us. In my opinion it is not correct to assume that ecigs long term are safe or safer than cigarettes. People did that a long time ago with cigarettes until it was proven dangerous. But I am addicted to the throat hit and the nicotine, so for now I would rather use ecigs which make me feel better now and may or may not cause health problems later in life, versus analog cigarettes which make me feel like crap when done now and I know will cause problems later. But one day I may try to cold turkey off nicotine completely, if for nothing else to save money.

I can definitely agree -- I am no Native American but I can concur with the philosophy:
"Sure you can trust the government, ask any Indian!"

I have Never trusted them, and never will - at least not until they can prove themselves trust worthy.

One thing I see though - they can effectively tax e-cigarettes without it harming the actual cigarette industry
and by doing so, the cigarette industry would not really lose because they are jumping on the band wagon to
sell e-cigs.

I believe the government knows there is money to be had from them so they may not ban them or make them
illegal, but I do see them regulating them for quality and safety reasons.

No one knows for sure but if the FDA, CDC, and other government offices touch it (anything), it will be ruined
in some way.

I don't see any long term adverse affects from e-cigs... if it were the case, then hundreds of other products
that have been in use for decades now would be causing problems. There are hundreds of products with the
same exact ingredients that we breathe in every day while eating, cooking, going to a concert, etc., and no
one has ever suffered ill effects from Fog machines, food flavors, or nicotine use yet that I am aware of.

That is what really gets me about all of this:

The FDA has approved for years, the use of nicotine in their own crap, they have approved food flavors for
everything from candy to medicines, they have approved PG and VG for a wide variety of human uses including
medical.... yet put these things together and the FDA has a problem?

Are people so (excuse the term but I can't say the other here) Fornicationally Blind that they can't see
the Contradictions in the approval of substances for one thing but the disapproval for another?

Baffling! Simply Baffling!
