Not much I could add to this except to mention the one model not shown, and that is banning or limiting the products used in THR, as in the snus ban in the EU, the potential deeming regulation of electronic cigarettes by the FDA, etc. I would assume with limited options for the consumer the tipping point may never be reached and we continue on with the current situation.

I responded to that observation in the comment section in the blog. Thanks for the comment.
