I'll say this until I'm blue in the face, which in fact I happen to be, so this'll be my last time. Term limits, term limits, term limits. They will not act to the benefit of the nation until they begin as one of the people and after a brief interim in DC return to be one of the people.
Also, the elected representatives should have the same benefits as we, the unwashed, do. Not a special retirement (not our Social Security retirement plan), not a special medical (not our Medicare plan), not...I could keep going.
Of course, what's the likelihood of those folks limiting their terms and their benefits? It's far less likely than it would be than for them to vote to increase their own salaries, without a public vote.
It's deeply broken.

I truly thought Orange Man would address term limits in his second term. He's the only non-politician to hold the office in about a zillion years
"deeming regulations" is in the title...I'd say you're good to go
Term limits, have to agree there. Also noticed that California (I think) is one of the four states (New York, Michigan, forgot the others) that have full time Assembly people. The sheer litany of assembly bills each year drowns the public with arguments they can't possibly untangle, and whatever laws were passed the year before are fair game for litigation and anti-bills in short order. Which goes back to that "government for governments sake" thing.

Everyone operates in what they see as their own self-interest (despite what they may say).
Economist, Milton Friedman:
"(S)elf-interest is what the individual wants. Mother Teresa, to take one example, operated on a completely self-interested basis. Self-interest does not mean narrow self-interest. Self-interest does not mean monetary self-interest. Self-interest means pursuing those things that are valuable to you but which you can also persuade others to value. Such things very often go beyond immediate material interest….If you want to see how pervasive this sort of self-interest is that I’m describing, look at the enormous amount of money contributed after Hurricane Katrina. That was a tremendous display of self-interest: The self-interest of people in that case was to help others. Self-interest, rightly understood, works for the benefit of society as a whole."
Some politicians think banning vaping "benefits society as a whole". Some don't. I'm with the latter. :- )
Yup, the only non-politician in a long while.
I'm not a Repub nor a conservative nor a Trump fanboy. But, with Biden in, then kiss off any reform of any kind.
Yes, they can regulate any "component part". From what I'm reading, that's pretty broad (and no, I haven't read nor digested all 250+ pages of this thing yet).
Frankly, it would be hard to regulate PG and VG, especially VG since it has other uses (skin moisturizer). Nicotine is a different story.
EDIT: Also, on the live vaping blog, on page 222 the deeming also appears to cover zero-nicotine eliquid as well. I haven't confirmed that yet, just reposting.

The key is to stock your own nic. Then the 3-letter agencies cant stop you.Why can't someone make some 0% vape juice, put in a drop of cbd and sell it as cbd vape? We could add our own nik if desired. Just a thought.
eJuice is so incredibly easy to make. PG and VG are readily available, and always will be. Flavorings, if desired will also always be available, just maybe not branded for the vape market. Look up a free online calculator and you are all set.
Oh I'm stocked up, but it would still be nice to have some of my favorite pre-made flavors and keep some people employed.They could call it homeopathic microdose cbd.
It's a long story. A whole series of bills and regulations that has been in progress for many years. The latest wrinkle is a ban on sending vaping materials through the mail. Initially it was applied to USPS which is gov controlled but some private shipping companies have already got on board and it may eventually be accepted by all the shipping companies.
Bills in the US tend to be huge baskets of individual pieces. The overall bill has to pass because it funds the government, or the military or whatever, so lots of items that might be hard to pass on their own are included in the must-pass big bills. Along with pork provisions giving special favors to powerful politicians and the corporations which they have financial ties to, etc. I don't know how many other countries work that way.
When political presumption becomes the basis for public policy all reason yields to the vacuum of common ignorance. With changes to tobacco law since 2008 and boundless judicial deference to administrative agency discretion we served as the excellent target test-bed for abuse and control by the federal bureaucratic establishment.
Seems to me we somewhere along the line forgot that we are the parents and government is our child. But nature abhors a vacuum. We gave the reckless teen the keys to the new station wagon and never took it back. Now having let delinquency bear fruit we marvel why the street is full of them.
My rights don't end where such fear begins. And that's where I think we should all go.
It's been a fun ride and so grateful for all of you who got it. That it's always been about our community of individuals, helping others join in our success and achieve their independence.
My best wishes for all of you this new year.
Good luck.
