Looks like their raising the blade of the guillotine now. Think I will make another nic order now.
My thoughts exactly. Personal to-do list for the week:
1. Order more unflavored nic for the freezer.
2. Order more unflavored WTA for the freezer, and HTH it stores as well as unflavored nic since adding WTA is what got hubs completely off of tobacco. Start more passiflora tinctures in case WTA doesn't freeze well (not quite as effective, but close).
3. Further research DIY tobacco flavoring extracts for development of homemade NET flavors. I've got a yard, I could always grow my own tobacco leaves if I had to, VA's been growing tobacco since the days of the colonies!
Most importantly:
4. Write, call and bully all of my representatives - AGAIN, and AGAIN, and AGAIN - so that I hopefully don't have to worry about extracting my own NET flavors and eventually running out of my stockpiled supplies.
Just call me Chicken Little, who fully intends to wear a figurative combat helmet and flack jacket as this particular sky falls!
(..And don't even get me started on the hypocrisy of the FDA:
Herbal
supplements, including whole herbs (many proven to be deadly if used incorrectly) - completely unregulated. *
Chantix (proven to have potentially deadly side effects) - approved for use.
E-cigs (no actual proven deadly risks) - likely to be closely regulated.
*Disclaimer - Herbalism is a long-term hobby of mine, I don't want want whole herbs regulated nor do I think they should be, I just know enough about them to know that many are not safe if not used carefully/accurately.
Ok, stepping off soap box and taking a few deep, calming breaths....)
