Are e-cigs going to be illegal?

[AndriaD]

I definittely think ecigarettes shouldn't be banned, however if regulation could make vaping safer for the public, I'm all for it.

Cigarettes are "regulated." How safe are they?

Regulation will do NOTHING but make them more expensive -- just like cigarettes.

the EU [european union] will impose restrictions and regulations from Mai 2016, so no ban but ....
for example : max 2 ml tanks [very small], no more than 20mg nicotine, all ingredients have to be written on the bottle [no more secret mix], and for sure taxes ....

Once again, e-cigs are cutting into tax revenue of reg. cigs. All they want is tax money.

Yes one of the big questions is if.
Assuming that regulation can make vaping safer assumes there is a current danger to vaping.
I do not think there is a current danger to vaping.

Hey Big Brother!!!....
The war on alcohol (prohibition)....you lost.
The war on drugs....you are loosing.

they will never be illegal i don't think. regulated by ridiculous taxes (i hope not) but it would not surprise me.

I doubt anything will happen on a federal level. A few states might dare (I live in Florida so I feel relatively safe in this regard). In any case, I'd hoard like crazy were a hint of e-cigs being banned to come through.

The list of activities, substances and things viewed 'illegal' either permanently or temporarily is looong.

Hasn't stopped anyone hellbent on doing or obtaining it in the least.

Vaping outlawed? Hm. Better start building more jails. A lot more. Like for a million additional inmates or so...

And while you're at it, hike tobacco taxes too...to fund the prison building program

Check this out!

I have upgraded my Vaping gear recently, leaving the Vamo behind and decided to flip my used tech on ebay, I got a message to say that my listing had been withdrawn because it wasn't RDA approved or some other bullshart!

The War is now on and the loss of revenue from the Government with imposed tax on Tobacco duly finds us fighting for our rights! Our right to source an alternative to Tobacco without the Government having their hands in our pocket!

I am bloody livid!

There is the question of harmful effects should the eliquid end up in your mouth, inadvertently of course. I have, on occasion, gotten the liquid on my lips and it caused my lip to swell. I think that the manufacturers and distributors should provide a way to prevent inadvertent spillage of the eliquid into the center tube. So that idiots like me don't kill themselves.

And go against the Darwin Principle?
