Could someone tell me how to open a NEW Thread?
If we do get the other kind would that mean that it would fall under current tobacco guidelines... such as taxes for instance?
This is what happens when you don't feed your e-liquid addiction:How a bout this?..If nicotene is a drug...Then we are all drug addicts...Then our ecigs are our RECOVERY method...Technically if we are drug addicts then we are disabled and are protected under the ADA as a group searching for a common goal...Wow this is starting to sound rediculous...But so do their calims initially..Thats why we ned a smart savvy lawyer like yvilla!
Drew,Could someone tell me how to open a NEW Thread?
Right.
It's the "other" kind of regulation we would want - not the FDA kind of regulation, which would probably mean extinction. The kind of regulation snus have now, maybe?
Wow yvilla that would make a bottle of juice really expensive here in N.Y.
There is another case to be made for e-devices, and if Smoking Everywhere mucks it up for our practice, then we can all curse them forever. Their suit is an artful dodge, without merit. We do NOT want to go to bed with SE. This is a terrible way to get a definition of e-smoking. Either/or is a dead-end for us.
What a concept: If e-cigs are a tobacco cigarette, then the Nicotrol Inhaler is a Hav-A-Tampa cigar.
I just hope the judge doesn't laugh.
Kate is on the right track. This is not tobacco. This is, in reality, not a new drug by definition of a "drug" having psysiological effects. Bottom line with these studies: We inhale a chemical without sufficient physical impact to warrant FDA intervention in its sale.
We are, in fact, a new category, not either/or.
Yvilla,
Aren't snus regulated exactlly like tobacco by the same regulatory agencies and taxed similarly?
