Instead of stocking up....

If we all sent Obama e-cigs, Obama would probably like the e-cig, and appoint a czar to regulate and tax it until the market was nearly dead, then inject massive amounts of capital to keep the market alive.

Why not get every member of this forum to pitch in $10 and pay for legal fees for a huge class action against the governments for their scare tactics, we'd recoup our money and force our own agendas!

[thefisherman]

$10 per person might be enough to get the complaint filed. But I'm not sure.

Has anyone considered the possibility that if the federal government were to really get focused on outlawing e-cigs that the resulting black market could be enormously profitable. Once you forbid a product or behavior, the profit margins associated with providing that product or behavior skyrocket.

I truly believe that the e-cigarette is going to be to 2010 what pot was to 1967.

There is going to be a long, long period of legal maneuvers, attempted outlawing, or possible overall outlawing. This will be followed by decades of underground e-cig usage that keeps on getting more and more popular, and cannot be stamped out.

Finally after 40 years, there will be CAUTIOUS steps at the state level to SLOWLY make e-cigs legal with a prescription.

It's the way things are done here in America, folks. Get used to it.

Funny. But in a not-so-funny way, true. The jack-booted soldiers probably are collecting IP addresses as we speak.

Any lawyers out there ready to start this class action suit against the FDA and Health Canada?? I've got my $10 and a paypal acct ready to go!!

When I read the thread title, I thought, "instead of stocking up... we should start privately networking and making connections so that they'll be dealing with the biggest damned black market problem since bathtub gin."

(I'm a nice, law-abiding old lady with lilac trees and a cat on my lap. I think they'll probably win. And I don't plan on giving up what lifted me overnight out of a cigarette habit from hell.)

For those vapers who were smokers and who's doctors have seen health improvements how about having a signed statement from your Dr to send to these reps organizations? If you're going to protest would make a good sign too.
