If Cali passes this ban I do believe it's time to revolt against a harmful government. I believe you should give the e-cig businesses time to regulate themselves first and if they are not able to, let the FDA make regulations because the FDA don't have any idea what they are doing. I can hear it now... The Government just bailed out the tobacco company because they are too big to fail... Yeah, Cali will ban e-cigs or tax the living crap out of it.

read:

delivering a vaporized solution, including, but not limited to, an
electronic cigarette, shall be deemed to be a drug as defined in
Section 109925. This section shall not be construed as bearing on or
being relevant to the question of whether any other product is a drug
as defined in Section 109925 or a device as defined in Section
109920.
