I was unclear. I meant the cop out is from them. Not being actively against vaping(not signing letters) is nowhere near being pro vaping.
Your original phrasing that “all support” has come from Republicans, plus two democrats just struck me as off. Since there were two democrats, it wasn’t all...
That sounds like a cop out. First you can’t say only republicans and then throw in plus two democrats. I will be the first to admit that the dems are the ones attacking vaping, but not signing a letter attacking vaping is a long way from supporting it. Also, the administration controls the...
I don’t understand why vaping doesn’t have more political support from Republican politicians. It is virtually a republican wet dream. Personal freedoms, over regulation that is demonstrably hurting an industry and American workers and business owners, and there is actual science to prove it...
Not bans, but there are regulations that touch all of the things you mentioned, such as licenses for sky diving instructors to electrical codes for home wiring. Most of those things would be some form of interaction between two people, like an electrician wiring your house, or someone making...
If you read the letters the FDA sent to the companies, and I admit it's not easy reading, they're not even accusing the majority of them of marketing directly to children. The point of that statement from the FDA is that kids may find those liquids and drink them, thinking they are...
We did lose a major battle. I don't think we've lost the war. I do wholeheartedly believe that we're not fighting on the right front.
Vaping can't be both the hero saving a billion lives AND the boogieman that parents need to protect their children from. Right now, the general public, and many...
No, I'm not okay with that because I'm assuming they didn't get permission to use the character, or to have a similar name. If they did, I'm actually perfectly okay with it. My issue would be the legal IP/Copyright/Trademark thing. I'm an adult, I'm creeping up on 40, I like cartoons. I'm...
Because as you said yourself, they'll ALWAYS find something else to complain about. They will always move the goalposts because their goal is to reduce the vaping industry to something easily regulated and taxed. This should not come as a surprise to anyone, this thread was started May 5, 2016...
Because the vaping industry suffers from battered spouse syndrome. They call it tobacco, but that's okay, really they're just trying to save it from pharmaceutical regulations. Maybe if we limit the nicotine content they'll accept us. Maybe if we don't have packaging that can be considered as...
I still don't see how we fight BS by saying that it's true.
I just read the statement by the AVA... does anyone really think those companies are targeting children? Being dumb about IP and copyrights, sure, but "predatory marketing?" Really?
They're stepping up enforcement, right? I foresee a lot of sting operations, lots of gas stations and convenience stores getting letters/fines. Hopefully no vape shops will be dumb enough to ignore the laws. Of course it will all fall under "tobacco retailers selling to minors."
Juul is just a...
I agree, that juice box package is stupid. Here's the thing, there is no nuance. When the line is imaginary, it moves depending on who is looking at it. They are accusing JUUL of advertising to kids ffs.
Does anyone really think they’ll stop at packaging? If they use the same BS argument against flavors as they do against packaging, what will the defense be?
The point is, the argument that kids are being tricked into trying e-liquid because of the packaging is ridiculous, once you actually take a minute to think about it, which I know is a lot to ask these days.
How do we fight? With the truth, and by pointing out how ridiculous it is, until...
How young would a child have to be to actually confuse a juice box with a "juice" box?
How old do you have to be to buy e-liquid again?
Where do you usually find e-liquid like that?
How much BS are you willing to eat before you start fighting back, instead of trying to squeak by?
Yup, they got rid of Joe Camel and just like that, all the underage smoking disappeared along with all the calls to end underage smoking.
Yes, cartoon labels can be held up by politicians as examples. Guess what, I’ve seen/heard them do it without the labels too. If we don’t fight the...
