Energy drinks vs E-cigs

[Karameru]

Was wondering if they can sell energy drinks on the market when it has reported deaths while they ban e-cigs which has no reported deaths.What do you think?

Nicotine can be deadly too! Especially the lack of regulation (ISO standards, Manufacturing cleanliness etc etc.) but then again, these same standards rises costs.
which is a complete booo boo.

I suppose e-cigs are banned where you come from due to 2 reasons; lack of regulation (Health of citizens) + unstudied monetary effect on taxes

Ive been on my 4th cart of 2.4ml 36ml juice in 4 days + 3-6 analogs

Starting to wonder if I am actually vaping too much, defeating the primary goal of vaping; that is to quit smoking.

I use to barely finish a pack or marlbs on a typical day (17+ sticks)

I had a 2 packs a day habit for several years. With the use of E-cigs I haven't smoked a real cig since 3-10-13. But, I can go through 3 to 4 ml of juice a day and my lungs feel great now. I can take deep breathes without having that tight feeling in my lungs.

There are many products on the market that can kill if not used the way they were intended to be used. I guess its easier to attack newer products in hopes that there is not a big following. They may have picked the wrong battle with e cigs especially if vapers stick together and let our voices be heard. All in favor, say "I".

Me, I think energy drinks are still on the market because there is no industry-funded push to remove them because they're competing with other products. The coffee-producing industry funding public health and non-for-profit organizations to promote removing energy drinks from the market could be compared to the pharmaceutical industry funding these same organization to promote removing ecigs from the market.

Remember, it has nothing to do with health or numbers of deaths. It's all about profit and market share.

Energy drinks do not cut into the HUGE tax revenues that would be lost from people switching to ecigs

Public safety is not the concern of the government or FDA - tax revenue is

If your goal of vaping is to quit smoking, more power to you! But that is not everyone's primary goal. (I started vaping, and coincidentally stopped smoking, as a cleaner and less obtrusive way of getting nicotine, with no intention of stopping nicotine.)

Your body self-regulates your nicotine level. If your body is telling you your 2.4ml of 36mg e-liquid, plus 1+ cig, a day is working, then that's what is working, and no worries. There are no hard and fast rules about what's too little or too much; each individual is different.
