Something I have been wondering:

Does US Customs have the authority, or obligation, to enforce "State" restrictions?

For example, if someone in Hong Kong sends something that is obviously vape related to someone in Arkansas what is the US Customs responsibility?
i used to board ships as an agent,, Customs concern themselves with the manifests.,, did the ship enter our waters correctly,, what is the status of the crewmen onboard,,,(do all have the correct Visa,, are any listed on terrorist lists.......long story for a Captain with a bad name) concerning the cargo,, the agenCY of the vessel files the paperwork, pays all taxes upon arrival,, goes through a 'bug/pest' hunt,, all of this takes about an hour,, then the Customs officer runs off to the next ship. now,, having a crappy agent/agency will screw up the cargo/entry and even the manifest creating 'alarms' for further review.

U.S. Customs will only deal with "Federal" constraints. They don't work for Arkansas.

In your example, they'll still most likely seize it. :)
you are more likely to have cargo seized in Dubai than America IF you had a picture of your wife in your Bedroom and too much of her neck was shown in the picture and if your ship had a bottle of whiskey on it.

This to me is one of the most troubling aspects of what we are dealing with: fellow vapers who have no idea what happened on 5/5/16. How can our message go viral so that ALL vapers would be aware of what is happening? We've got lots of creative people in this conversation what ideas are out there?
i keep saying bumper stickers,,yes i hate them,, i dont have any on my car-yet,,, but its a great way to get the word out on the road and send a message to the fda that we are serious.----and ALert fellow vapers to pay attention

So......after wasting my time last night/today conversing via FB with some Twit that hangs on the Mod Envy Forums..............I am more convinced than ever there are many Vape Posers out there and there is no reasoning with them.
The Numbskull is Flat insistent vaping Is Harmful, with no reasoning or Example - Yet he post more on Mod Envy than his own page.:facepalm:
I think it is Social Envy due to Stunted Brain development.:ohmy:

I've backed ANTZ down, but this lug head thinks science is irrelevant and his knowledge is supreme. Still awaiting any justification for his thoughts.:grr:

If he thinks vaping is harmful, he shouldn't vape.

no need to boil ... adjust Volts to preferred taste :blink:

I'd want to get the dirt and other impurities out. I just had another thought: the carpeting on the cat tree looks a lot like Peaches & Cream.

I am PEEVED ROYALLY that the Government of this country is not seen as damn near as bad those that bring harm to our shores.
480,000 Lives Lost Annually, that's 1315 PER DAY - due to continuing to Allow and now obscure Support of Combustible Tobacco.
1315 every single day this year..........:oops:
Government By the Pocket and for the Pocket.:grr:

And the shtf has just started...the government sells us the people out in every way that they can. I hate to see how effed up it is going to be here in five years if a certain someone that wears what looks like Chairman Mao would wear gets elected. We'll all be wearing helmets (for our protection of course) and talking in private whispers.

I was out to dinner tonight with my siblings and their spouses - my brother in law said to me "I saw this bumper sticker that said 'I Vape I Vote" - he wanted to know what it was all about so I gave him and the rest of them an earful!

I was pleased that it seems we just may very well be reaching the general public!!

If it were a law enforcement issue, probably. Federal taxes, though not in place yet, would make that very unlikely.
States will use the FDA regulations to pile taxes, restrictions and bans. That is guaranteed.

Hey, the dog is the one who cleans the room. No leftover remains on the floor more than 15 seconds, even from a dead sleep. Besides, organic cotton, dog hair, does it really matter what we use as long as it wicks?

Plenty of threads here about that - just about anything has been tried as wicking material...

Well, almost :

Here kitty kitty, here .. :D

Got "I Vape, I Vote" bumper stickers on both our vehicles as well as ones that say "Vaping Saves Lives, No Butts About It!". The only ones we've ever used, but we get a lot of questions so a chance to inform, mod showing, thumbs up responses. Perhaps looking incredibly old and harmless people aren't afraid to approach husband and me. :)

Ooh, I want to get a Vaping Saves Lives, No Butts About It bumper sticker. I haven't had bumper stickers in forever, but that one I would be willing to put on.
