OH MY WORD, this is the kind of thing we need to know. That is going to put a crunch on those who live in more rural areas, especially if they have limited funds.
So is this law requiring adult verification at the time the order is placed or requiring an adult signature upon deliver?
Edit: or both?
I am not sure of the final wording in Texas, but the one that
passed in North Dakota with
very similar language requires that the seller verifies through a public database
AND requires a copy of photo ID
AND has to request and receive written acknowledgement of a statement about how evil vaping is
AND requires an age verified delivery. This all needs to be done for each purchase, it can't just be done once to establish that a customer is an adult. I might even agree with some of this if it was only the database OR the photo ID OR age verified delivery and was only required once.
The great majority of North Dakota is rural, with many small towns having no street delivery, and many small town post offices only open a few hours a day. In my current situation I am disabled and someone else picks my mail up for me. When I worked I commuted 60 miles each way and was not in town during the hours the PO was open. This is common in rural areas.
I forgot to mention the part about the child proof bottles. That is fine for those who have children in the house, or who have children who come over. But for older people, and those with arthritis, those caps might be a problem. I have talked about it in another thread though. I like easy to open bottles, because I do have arthritis. (it is not minor either) I hope that vendors will choose bottles that can be converted. If not, I will have to buy more bottles, and switch them out myself. I like easy to squeeze bottles too. That was the least of my worries last night. I sent an email to my House Rep today, thanking him for voting no. Last night I emailed the governor here as well.
Vapero, I already ordered nicotine, for just in case. I already have it!! They aren't banning e juice, at least not yet. But some vendors may not want to be involved with this legislation. So you will possibly have to buy locally in the future. If my favorite vendor will not deal with the red tape, I would understand. I would also be very sad. I will have to wait to hear exactly what the bottom line will be on this.
I started to make my own liquid when my favorite supplier switched to only child resistant bottles. I can't open them at all, which meant I either had to have someone come over and open them for me or I had to cut the top off, so I could transfer the contents to another container - which also removes any label information or warnings. There is no
locally available to me. I need to drive at least 60 miles to get to a vape shop. Having lived in southwest Texas once, I assume that the same would apply to many people there. It's not like cigarettes that you can get at any gas station.
I have some nicotine in my freezer, but will now need to buy at least another liter before July 1, something that is going to mess up my budget pretty thoroughly.
