Thank you guys for the information, and I do have the means to do so. Can I ask, if the ban takes place, and owning or buying ecigs/stuff would be illegal, will ordering from suppliers on line be a thing of the past? Would people still be able to order small packages from other countries? I am seriously shaken up by this news. This is saving my life and my health. I have Crohns disease and have been sick for 2 straight years. I quit smoking analogs and picked up the ecig, and after two months I am in perfect condition. Im working again, I feel better, taste better, breath better and Im happier.
You information is much appreicated, thanks in advance.
MIke: you are not alone. I have lupus and Sjogren's disease in the moderate to severe stages. For the first time yesterday when I went in for my check up, my doctor was amazed because I had no crackles, wheezes, or franks in my lungs. I've been vaping since July 7th, 09 and now I can breath, my smoker's cough is gone, I don't cough up crud, and I would swear it is keeping my flares at a minimum and when I do have a flare, they are not as debilitating as they were before I began vaping.
I don't have the means to stockpile. Right now DH, our 12yo daughter, and I are living on my SSDI while awaiting DH's disability hearing. He can't go back to work so that puts a major crimp in what I can order and what I can't because I have bills and a mortgage not to mention a child to support. I can't stand the thoughts of going back to analog cigarettes. I can't stand the thoughts of all those taxes and feeling so bad but worse, I can't handle the thoughts of going through nicotine withdrawal. At this point in my life, it could very well be the thread that tears my marriage all to hell. We've been there before but somehow managed to come back from the brink but when I am out of cigarettes or don't have my nicotine fix, I am more than a ....., I am the .....'s great-grandmother from whence the term originated if you know what I mean.... Even DH doesn't mind my vaping. He's actually happy about it because I feel better and I am not having as many or as severe flares as I was having before hand. It's much nicer for us. For the first time in years it is like we have a real marriage instead of an argument-fest every day.
I hope ASH and the FDA will just stay out of our business and mind their own. Don't they have some Madcow diseases or something to look into somewhere? Can't they start going after those people putting growth hormones in cows that is transmitted in milk to worry about? --- thankfully we are soy and nut milk drinkers here because I'm lactose intolerant.

We don't have to worry about the milk and for the most part, my 2 daughter and I are practically vegetarians. We will occasionally have a bit of steak or a small piece of turkey but for the most part, we eat more vegetarian or seafood meals as long as I am sure the seafood is safe from mercury poisoning. We also love sushi although DH and his mother hates it and hates that my girls love it as much as I do. I guess I should say we are primarily vegetarians only we do eat seafood.
I'm sure the FDA and ASH can find something better to do with their time. I know, ASH should go after the FDA for making their products available to children and for advertising and producing their nicotine gum in flavors that children will tend to want. That's enough there to say the FDA is targeting children with products they already agreed were safe....
BTW, I was diagnosed with lupus (SLE) and Sjogren's about 9 years ago but was symptomatic long before then.
