Canada needs the money to keep its politicians fat so taxing it would be its best course. Cigarette and gas tax are their gravy and with vapers popping up everywhere and not paying cig tax no more, the fat politicians are going to be feeling the pinch. I dont think the provinces and the federal government here in Canada have the same BT payouts as some of the states have. We also have medicare that is mostly government paid so less hospital from smoking ailments is a good thing so IMO Canada is going to tax the chit out of juice and gear and not destroy it like the FDA is trying to do.
I wish I knew the answer to this. We always need to follow the money.
It is a two hour each way trip for me to get to my vape shop. I get there every month or two and spend some time trying lots of juices. Not being able to "try before you buy" is just like buying online juice and I don't have to start the car to spend my money there. It won't help the B&M's when those like me settle for buying juice online.
I have been a big proponent of new vapers going to a vape shop to try/find a good flavor or two. So much for that! Oh, wait! There might not be any new vapers!

Finding a juice you like, learning how to use your gear, troubleshoot problems. I may not visit shops often, but I do see their value. The FDA wants them to be like the gas station where you just slide your money across the counter, get your sealed box, and leave.
This is what Canada will enforce also ... cigalikes will be the only vape allowed ... there is no way Canada becomes a source for open tank Vape Gear after 2018.
all eLiquid up here is already supposed to zero nicotine.
I thought I heard the guy from FlavourArt(I think) say he was working with someone in the Canadian government to develop a reasonable new framework for vapor products. Could have just been talk though.
I haven't heard or seen anything else about it, but it was during one of the radio interviews with Azim Chowdhury on the regulations, he called in.
When I retire I'm going to organize one from San Diego to Orange County.
I'm not going to include Los Angeles though.
I don't understand why I always miss the good stuff!
Eh... It wasn't that Great.
I've seen Better.

Cool.
I hope you are Retiring Soon. So we can do an e-Cigarette Rally.
Cause all there seems to be is Talk. Talk Talk Talk. An Occasional Rant. Then More Talk.

Well, we can plan one, post it all over ECF, maybe it will even get shared to FB and... 10 people will show up. Better get the advocacy groups on board first, they usually don't sanction anything that doesn't come from them. Good luck getting vendors to get the word out to the other 95% of vapers.
Then Ya Know what? Maybe we Deserve everything that we get.
Because they keep Kicking us in the Gut. And we Don't even Tell them to Stop.
I'm open to suggestions as to how we get people to unite. We keep telling them to stop, but apparently not loud enough.
No Les. You are Right.
Without the Support of Retailers and without the Blessing of our Advocacy Groups, the whole thing would be kinda Futile.
I just thought it would be Different. Because I have Watched this whole thing Unfold since about the Beginning. And I somehow thought that when Deeming Hit, that there would be More.
Just not enough of us telling them to stop, not even 5 % of the numbers needed to grab their attention. i have no idea how to convince vapers and shop owners of the gravity of the situation, not a clue.
