I know this is a controversial topic and people have strong feelings about it. I'm glad to see debate on the subject. One of the things I was dismayed to learn about while researching our various blog posts on this topic over the last couple months was the results of the FDA's sting operations over the summer. FDA found major chain retailers like Walgreens, 7-Eleven and Shell gas stations were illegally selling e-cigarettes to minors (resulting in 1,100 warning letters and 131 fines). I found it shocking that large chain retailers would neglect to check ID, threatening so many vapers and our entire industry. Initially, there was talk of banning flavors entirely as well as completely banning online sales. Bottom line, I feel the FDA's response could have been much, much worse. And, not everyone may agree, but I see a potential silver lining for both vapers and smaller businesses in the industry. But maybe I'm just seeing the glass half full. Time will tell.
