Just doing my Part to support the concept of Sensory Adaptation.
I'm on the fence as to whether or not this hurts us. The Boxers and Feinsteins, I'm afraid, will never support us, no matter how much we try to convince them they should.
A point we will continue to Agree on. Big tobacco saw Regulation as a Protection to their business practices, shielding them from continued individual Suites as well as Blocking any Future competition from outside Tobacco interest. It also Guaranteed Government would not attempt outright Ban of the product.
Big Tobacco is skilled at an international level and swift to fight to minimize Government interference in Business as usual.
*Governments - Oh look, we are going to pit Nasty Pictures on Cigarette Packs.
Big Tobacco - Yea, and there will still be 20 Marlboro's inside that pack.
Personally, I think this tactic was more to embarrass Smokers even more....Oh Gross, look at that pack...............and you still smoke
I get the point Governments - Let me Vape in peace!

The just creates a whole new market of lengths of gaffer's tape cut to just the correct size.
I will believe BT is on our side when I see them dump big sums of money into research and development of ALL vape products...gear, liquid, and accessories. We have seen the positive effects of vape innovation by companies who are just a small fraction of the size of BT with R & D budgets that are a drop in the bucket compared to the R & D budgets of BT. Think of how BT could advance vaping technology and market tested flavor enhancements with the deep pockets they have. For that matter, one could say the same thing about BP employing the smoking cessation angle and qualifying vaping as a "medicine". Unless I am oblivious (which is always a possibility with me), I haven't seen any of these efforts.
big tobacco is wasting their time aiming for the American customer,,,,,,,,they should aim all of their energy to China/region.............far more people to accept smoking as a lifestyleA point we will continue to Agree on.

They are the 'usual suspects' - along with Durbin, Schumer, Blumenthal, Sherrod Brown, Markey, Merkely, et al. Kay Hagan, now gone, was with us. But google tells the story:
No results found for "Democrats who support vaping".

31 votes for the amendment is taking a stand. 54 cosponsors of HR 2058 are taking a stand. Many vocally and via emails support us, as we have seen.
Hagan, coming from Tobacco Road (North Carolina), knew she would be hung if she supported the 2009 Tobacco Act so she voted against it. The only Democrat to do so. Turns out she was in favor of too many other unpopular laws and she got hung anyway in 2014 after serving only one term. And I helped by actively campaigning against her re-election. She lost by a thin margin so I like to believe I helped make a difference but she employed the race card late in the campaign and she went from a 1 - 2 point lead to a one point loss and I think that is what made the last minute difference. The race card has lost its luster in NC.
Actually both.Corrected......
And government Owns it
Tobacco and Ecig.
Over here Tobacco and others co own our govt. We average citizens just serve them.
Ahh but the real test ois int the final vote and if they let the vape opposers remove the ammendment from the bill or gut it somehow. It is in the FULL house now isn't it? Push comes to shove and deal making going an the R's will throw vaping under the bus and blame it all on the dems.
I sincerely hope I am proven wrong but do not expect to be.
As long as we're speculating beyond the actual support shown, I'll say that the Appropriation bill in the House will pass. Whether it will include a Cole/Bishop type amendment in the Senate - that remains to be seen.

This ANTI is a Social Misfit.
Yes, Cigars are for Kids
No 62yr old Ex-Smokers don't like Candy or Fruit
Sit and listen to what an EX-Smoker has to say about Vapor Products FREEing them from Combustible Tobacco, without interjecting your FOR THE CHILDREN - DRIVEL. Take a minute to Look at the Actual Total number of CONSENTING ADULTS now Switched to a 95% Safer Alternative, For their Health and YOURS.
Perhaps WE Care more about the KIDS than even you. At least we are finding an ALTERNATIVE to Combustible Tobacco in OUR LIFETIME!
Well aware of that campaign... I've liked the replies by Tillis that I have seen regarding the deeming.
From your Link...
The bill “is nothing short of a giveaway to the tobacco industry,” said New York Rep. Nita Lowey, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
I guess the Only thing that Lowey could have said to make it sound Worse is...
This Big Tobacco Sponsored bill “is nothing short of a giveaway to the tobacco industry,” said New York Rep. Nita Lowey, the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
LOL
Yeah, Tillis is with us. I haven't heard squat from Burr. And he's up for re-election this year.
Eh, shades of grey, the implication is already there.
