In one corner we have those that say screw that, I'm going to kick them in the nuts.
And in the other corner we have those that say if you kick them in the nuts they'll blow your head off.
:laugh:

Love these threads!

I vote for kicking them in the nuts.
But it would be nice to disarm them prior to kicking.

I suppose if we don't kick them in the nuts, they might only blow off an arm or two.
That's better, right?

Been there. Done That.

Or have you forgotten about those Hundred of so Posts we have Exchanged in that Poll Thread?

I haven't forgotten, and that's what I'm referring to. Hundreds of posts, and not a single reason in that thread that wasn't based on either "it looks like smoking, so there must be possible harms like smoking" or "we just don't know, even though there's this mountain of data"

I'd say lets save some formaldehyde for embalming those nuts.

All I know is if it wasn't Figured out in the 500 or so Posts there, I don't think it will be Figured out Here.

BTW - You can say that Vapers are thinking something because "it looks like smoking" all you want. But I think when it comes to Vapers, you would be Wrong about 99 times out of 100.

For the General Public? 60%+ ? But of course, that Number is Highly Debatable.

A trademark is a recognizable sign, design or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others

a printed plain labeled bottle isn't a trademark

If the Cartoon Character was taken Off the Bottle Label in the OP's post, would You be about to tell what Company the e-Liquid came from?

It is.

But we are Fighting for our e-Cigarette Lives here. And are Under Attack on Every Level. This type of Label does Nothing but Hurt our Cause.

I ask myself... "Why does a Retailer/Vendor need to use this Label in the First Place?". They are Not going to Sell any Less or any More e-Liquid if they just used a Picture of a Cookie.

And if they Did, there Wouldn't be the Spector of trying to Entice Under Aged use of e-Cigarettes.
kiddy pics are necessary so that pols can stand up and yell and this is necessary so that regulations and taxes can be placed on ejuices it is called win /win ( was/ is it intentional -who knows only Woodward and Bernstein)

How many Cartoon Characters are Allowed on Cigarette Packages? Either here in the USA, in Canada, or in the UK?

But the Big Question here. Why do you think Cartoon Characters should be Allowed on Bottles of e-Liquids that Contain Nicotine?

How many years was he allowed?

The truth of the matter is that in any issue involving Money, Money Wins. Sorry to say that because that Kills Vaping, which I love. The only win comes from exposing the powers that be as the corrupt money grubbers that they really are. What happens to kids is just righteous debate. What really matters is that Pile Of Money.

It wasn't "figured out" because myself and others on my side of the debate kept providing data when asked, and the other side simply said things like "of course not" "it's an adult activity" without providing any scientifically based reason on a matter of public health.

I say they can't get past "it looks like smoking" because on all of these issues that illicit a gut reaction, there are a high number(at least as evidence on this forum, by that poll thread) that associate vaping with smoking, even when the evidence suggests otherwise.

See this post:

Why should they not be, nicotine or no? I'd like something other than "because some will think it's marketing to kids."

1. None. There's a limited set of pictures that are mandated by the government to be used on tobacco packages (the black lungs etc). Is this what you would like to see on eliquid bottles?

2. Since the bottles are to be sold only to adults, I see no problem with them having any pictures from cartoons to erotica.
