TVECA demonizes mods, claims they aren't e-cigarettes
E-Cigarettes are Here to Stay : Convenience Store Decisions
This is the second time in the past month that TVECA has claimed that mods aren't e-cigarettes (they also claimed mods aren't e-cigarettes on their website in response to the exploding battery incident in Florida).
I've repeatedly ask Tom Kiklas at TVECA to stop claiming that mods aren't e-cigarettes, but to no avail.
I'd like to see an objective discussion (on this thread or elsewhere) about just what a mod is (and isn't) and just what an e-cigarette is (and isn't), as there appears to be some differences of interpretations and semantics.
Also, as far as the FDA and FSPTCA are concerned, a tobacco product is any product derived from tobacco and intended for human consumption (that isn't marketed for therapeutic purposes). So it appears that the only e-cigarette products that the FDA has the legal authority to regulate as tobacco are e-liquid and any components of e-cigarette products that contain e-liquid (e.g. cartridges).
So which mods (or more specifically, which mod components) would be considered a tobacco product by the FSPTCA?
