House passes bill to require child-proof nicotine packaging

The Senate previously passed the legislation by unanimous consent in December.

Voice vote in the House, unanimous consent in the Senate, and the President is going to sign it. Our legislative process is finally working again, and toddlers will have to find another way to get their nicotine fix.

Although my youngest is 18 and I dislike child resistant caps on my bottles, if this were the only thing that goobermint was imposing on us, I'd be jumping for joy.

How are they going to "child proof" a pack of cigarettes?
Actually... EACH cigarette would need to be "child proof" so little Tina doesn't eat it.

MORE NEW laws solve all the problems....

In before this moves to "OUTSIDE".

and even though I have no young ones around here I too would be jumping for joy if it was The Only Thing.

But why would they even think they need to do this with the FDA's regulatory "deeming" on the way???

This country is $19 trillion in the hole, and the Capitol Hill Control-Freak Critters are concerned with childproof caps on e-juice?

Uhhh . . . where is their sense of priorities?

Their main priority is keeping themselves in power and the voters are dumb enough to give them brownie points for doing stuff to "protect the children".

BTW - I wonder if people are considering how this will effect Glass Bottles?

Of course there is the exemption for pre-filled carts, and then this little gem

1. (3) NICOTINE.—The term ‘‘nicotine’’ means
   
   
2. 23 any form of the chemical nicotine, including any salt
   
   
3. 24 or complex, regardless of whether the chemical is
   
   
4. 25 naturally or synthetically derived.

Most of the glass bottles I've gotten are childproof

Until you drop it. lolz

 

[Lessifer]

This would also apply to DIY nic concentrate. I wonder if the nude armor bottle is considered child resistant?

The bottles you have received have a degree of Child Resistance. But it is yet to be seen to what Standard of Child Resistance liquid nicotine would be allowed to be Packaged in.

I don't know of any Recognized Standard that allows for Glass Containers. Because of the "Smashie-Smashie" Factor. And things like Eye Dropper Bottles can't be Certified because Kids just Chew the Rubber Bulbs off.

Manufacturers of glass bottles will be fine. There'll still be a healthy market for fun-flavored vodka and wine coolers.

Oh, I've gotten a few of those child proof glass bottles .... you have to push down really hard on the tops to get them to unlock.

If you are asking can they be child proofed, they already are, and/or there are caps that are child proof available.

I have to special request my pharmacy to put NON childproof caps on all my prescriptions, since with arthritis, I can't get the darn tops off.

It is much easier to chew up a thin plastic container though.

I know it certainly is for DOGS.
