Even if banned wouldn't it still be legal to buy e-cig as personal vaporizer?

Yea so then we end up with very ugly bulky devices huh that's just great, anyone who does not have insurance gets to pay 400 dollars just for the vaporizer even better. Then they will want to cut the nic strength down to like 4mg, lets face it the reason there is no real effective way to quit smoking is because the gov doesn't want one, they don't want to get new smokers but they want to tax the current ones because they no there a excellent money source. Part of the reason I just vape now and refuse to smoke is because I no that one less way the gov can get money from me. Taxes only go one way up it's not to often you see a tax go down.
You are exactly right my friend................they want prescription vaporizers(that insurance companies won't cover) $200 dollars a week for 7 disposable one hit wonders

Will see how this goes it just seems to easy, something smells fishy here that's just me though.

Well me being the very suspicious person I am ...I still keep thinking it's nothing to do with the FDA or Europe but only really about money and the reduction in strength is to do with the fact they have realised they are loosing quite a bit of money if most of us are cutting the 36 mg and making it go a lot further. If I am right about that it will soon become readily available again but at a much higher price.

That sounds about right to me, even if we could afford them they will be using a 12week quitting system or something similar, the most nic strength they would give would be something like 12mg. Wonder what company would get to make the vaporizer and at what price would they set.

And, Philip Morris will be the manufacturer.

What cr@p!!!

BTW. Make sure all your analog smoking friends know to boycott Philip Morris, who backed passing this bill!

When I asked my supplier about why they are not making the 36mg liquid anymore they told me because the European government said 26mg is the highest that they can make. I do not think it has anything to do with the USA or the FDA. Now I could be wrong but this is just what my supplier told me.

Your supplier is pulling your leg. The EU do not in their wildest dreams regulate e-liquid. The Tobacco Products Directive (2001/33/EC has a hand in tobacco regulation but it doesn't mention nicotine in anything other than cigarettes, which a bottle of liquid is not.

Note that EU directives things are not really laws either. they are strong suggestions that member states should probably have laws in line with them. There's a thing called direct effect that allows them to have some force but the application of it is very narrow.
