banned in the USA

[wannalive]

im not up to date on the whole ban thing but i do see a lot of talk about it here.
if it were to be banned in the US would we not be able to get our supplys on-line from where ever ? how could it be regulated ?
or are we talking about restaurants and the workplace, big deal cant smoke there anyways.
please explain this to me.

If there is a ban and you do not already know where to get your suppliers you are screwed, If you do, then there are no worries.

^ from a head. LOL

It is a very complicated case. Everything is still up in the air at this point. If you are concerned, you will want to bookmark this thread. That is about the best way to be informed on the details.

They most likely won't ban. They'll figure out a way to tax it. It's all about the money.

Consider this
1. PM (Phillip Morris ) is trying to buy the Ruyan PATENTS

2. The FDA and Big tobacco ( I.E. PM ) are mandated to create a SAFER CIG. !!

3. The FDA and PM decide that the ECIG is the PERFECT idea to be a SAFER CIG.

4. PM buys Ruyan , owns the patents FDA APPROVES ECIGS 8-o

5. FDA gets to TAX the ECIG , PM gets the market we get the SCREW !

Not really we will ALWAYS be able to get the parts and juice whether it is legal or not !

As I said, it's all about the money.

You're absolutely right. It's all about two things: Politics & Money

Once big business gets their legal hands on patents/rights then it will only be a matter of time when the price of everything "vaping" will become close to or equal to that of smoking cigarettes.

Fortunately, the technology is quite simple as well as the component parts and liquids to make e-cigs work. Push comes to shove there will always be a black market for everything.

Yeah. The politics are needed to make the money. Once the money starts rolling in, will the FDA be concerned about our health? I think not.

I got some ancestors in the family that were Moonshiners, and we all know what do about the Revenuers!

Regulation is a lot more likely than an all out ban.

I'm not too worried about it. I don't really see parts getting banned in the US. If they do, the Chinese are super crafty and will find some way to ship us our attys. Liquid could be an issue, which is why I've been trying really hard to cut down my nic level and mix my own flavors. I could see the FDA limiting our nic levels and flavor options, but with friends in the chemistry world and various flavor extract options, I think I will be able to find a way around the FDA.

Exactily. Remember that little thing called Prohibition? That didn't work too well either.

I remember seeing a report where the fda said they wouldn't even be able to enforce the ban if there was one, we'd still be able to easily purchase online from china...

They only want to tax e-cigs. Banning them will not put money in their pockets. The FDA want's our wallets, not our e-cigs.

 

[Slickstick]

I wouldn't be paranoid in the least. If anything it will be regulated and taxed and we will just get it cheaper online like we do now. It's the future vapers that will pay the price in the store down the road because they know nothing about this website.

 

[wannalive]

it seems to me that in order to cover our a$$e$ we should share our overseas suppliers with each other. sticky ? 0.02

[quiet noobz]

Hey, maybe we all lost track of something.

Aren't we supposed to quit e-cigs anyway after quitting real cigs?

I thought we were supposed to utilize these as a 'smokeable patch' and then quit them altogether for ultimate health and cleanness...

Have we lost all our minds?

Sure, I love vaping, but it feels just as wrong as cigs, regardless of the minor health-increase.

The goal to accomplish here is ceasing to take nicotine...

I thought that circumventing that goal and settling with this alternative for life is totally wrong morally... and biblically...

That may very well be your intentions and beliefs, but it seems a bit presumptuous of you to think the rest of the world is bound by them as well.
