E-cigarettes are here to stay !!

[Petrodus]

maybe so, but opposition from who? not the nonsmoking public surely.

There will always be those who would prefer not to be around e-smokers
blowing harmless vapor clouds which reminds them of smoking.
Don't anticipate a day in the future when the public at large will look at vapers
the same way as if they were just chewing gum.

Yeah... This is True.

But if there were Big Fat Tax Dollars rolling in for Every Pre-Filled Carto, I think Politicians would Sing a Different Tune than they are Now.

Also, once BT corners the Market, the FDA can slip back into their Hole and get off the Radar.

I went to an e-cig store (B&M) the other day for the first time.

wow, if i had some capital and some business knowledge, i would open a vaping store around here. there aren't any that i know of. cool story, thanks dear.

Hi Kelli
I forgot to mention something in that story ...
That store does NOT sell any cig-a-likes.

By the way ...
That comment about cig-a-likes
was NOT a sarcastic comment putting down
cig-a-likes !!

I'm "Old School" ... By that I mean
I don't care if your favorite PV is a cig-a-like
or the most powerful mod available today.
The important thing is you're content with
what you're vaping as an alternative to smoking.

This statement is an example of sly negative innuendo the antis excel at (they're reduced to innuendo because they lack facts to support their negativity). Doesn't the term "guinea pig for cigarette companies" just ooooooze evil?!

And don't forget that pretending that e-cigarettes never existed before tobacco companies got into the business gives her another point of emotional negativity with which to snare the unwary, unknowing folks in the audience. I especially liked, "Tests have found harmful chemicals inside, nothing comparable to cigarettes but Vicki says cancer causing."

Two can play that game.

Vicki recommended that smokers who want to quit stick with Nicotine Reduction Therapy (NRT) products, such as patches, gum, and lozenges. NRTs are proven to be effective, since many smokers use them to quit--repeatedly, year after year. One reason for this is that nicotine doses have been carefully controlled to prevent consumers from becoming addicted. The beauty of this schema is that even though 95% of NRT customers relapse within the first year, the repeated failures can be blamed on the victims themselves, rather than on the products.

NRTs are proven to be safe, since they contain the same eight nanograms of cancer-causing chemicals as e-cigarettes.

Smokers are warned to stay away from e-cigarettes, since the higher nicotine levels and appealing flavors may make them acceptable as a permanent substitute for smoking, thus endangering both corporate profits and tax revenues, Vicki concluded.

Your comment implies that BT cornering the market is a good thing. It is FAR from a good thing. Most of us understand that.

Don't read things into posts that Aren't there.

Stating the Obvious is Far From Agreeing with It.

Many, Including myself, feel that e-Cigarette Hardware will be Relatively Unaffected by the Coming US FDA Regulations.

It's the e-Liquids that we have to Worry about.

I would like to believe that, I really would. But if nicotine liquid is restricted to prefilled carts only, in tobacco flavors only, and it becomes impossible for the average consumer to get their hands on bottles of juice(at their preferred nic strength and flavors) to use in their devices, then I see these devices fading from the market due to lack of demand. Who is going to want to buy a Vamo or Provari or eGo twists or REOs or Ithakas or Vivi Novas if they can't get hold of any juice to put in them? Sure there will always be DIY to make your own juice but the people that do that are a tiny minority of vaping consumers.

This is a Huge Reason why BT would Instruct the FDA to Severely Limit the Sale and Distribution of e-Liquids in Liquid Form.

Trying to put Restriction on Batteries and or Attys/Clearos is going to be Problematic and Very Hard to Enforce. Much Easer to Chop Off the Head of the Snake by just taking away Nicotine in Liquid Form.

I'm no longer losing sleep worrying about what the FDA might do
sometime in the future.

I suggest the FDA wishes they never even heard about e-cigarettes.

This counts as one of my "happy thoughts" these days!

Agreed. I am wondering if brick and mortars will start selling diy supplies, particularly nic solution, to counter it. There shouldn't be any reason that we can't buy it, we just have to prove age and pay the jacked up taxes they will most likely smack on.

Let's "hope" you are right. But lets stay vigilent, support CASAA, write letters, etc or we could be in trouble.

TRUE !!
Join CASAA ... Donate a few dollars every month if you can.
Get involved - stay involved.

well, May has come and gone, and nothing dire happened. i remember in feb and march, lots of ppl here thought vaping sales as we know it would end in May and were stockpiling supplies in anticipation of the vapocalypse. (my word)

honestly, i think the worst that will happen is they will impose a tax on anything with nicotine in it and that will be that. then BT will enter the vaping arena in a huge way, and drive all the small businesses out. i hate that part.

Wish we could forward the link to the good people at FDA... and S. Glantz... (I'm going to put SG viewing that video into my "happy thoughts" portfolio right now...)
