Alberta bill 33

[BadLar]

A government agency that is corrupt, self serving and out of touch with reality? Surely you must be joking......

We know it's the money, but in reality unless your related to a big big politician what can u do to get the ball rolling on this corruption? Even if we had an Editor or a hugh Paper on our side, it would take something like that to expose this.

I'll also add, we in numbers can bring lots of attention to this matter.......

Our time is approaching.

'Critical mass' is what you are referring to. I don't want to get into a heated political debate or any thing but a near perfect example of 'critical mass' occurred in the last Alberta provincial election. The polls were showing Wild Rose and the PC's neck and neck just a couple of days before the election. A bunch of Lib supporters jumped ship to the PC's to block Wild Rose. From the last poll, PC support jumped an almost identical amount as the loss of support the Lib's suffered. That is the power of 'critical mass'.

They can only ban the sale of it, not possession. You can still mix your own, and let's be honest... do you think it will difficult to order juice online with a flavor ban? Are they going to set up inter-provincial customs agents to sift through Albertan mail?

Umm I think you are missing the point of this bill and what it means.

No flavoured tobacco or flavours with nicotine in them. Yeah you could use your fav flavours at home but out in public if you got caught the fine could be horrendous. Now if you are using a vaporizer around children that is substantially worse and if you choose to obey all laws you must stand out with the smokers as they infuse your lungs with all the chemicals you left behind.

How is any of this a win or a change for the better for those that made the conscious choice to do something better with their habit? This is all just a big F U in the face of people that made good choices, but didn't choose the patch or any other form that cost them tons of money with no effect. It really is a .... block to ecigs, with no evidence present to prove they are doing the general population a favor.

Pretty sure they are only banning the sale of flavored tobacco and tobacco-like products.

 

[Talyon]

Pretty sure they are only banning the sale of flavored tobacco and tobacco-like products.

That is correct at current time, but I don't disagree that the way language is written ecig could be included down the road, but who knows when.

I hope just the same that all Vapers in Alberta are writing to their mps, etc.

No need for panic yet..... I think a lot well be told when the FDA gets to announcing their deeming regulations. It's my belief we have up to a year, before anything concrete happens.
