That might be a good thing for you Mike. Maybe you can get a contract for your PVs. That would be cool.

Does this mean that if you go to a place that bans all tobacco products, you can't vape?

that is still unknown as far as I know , It will most likely be on a area by area basis or local .

 

[Animeguy]

Oh well I will just go vape and stop if someone stops me. But its not lawfully defined as smoking right? I can still say I not smoking hopefully.

No offense taken 5C.

Ruppy I remember reading Wal Mart's article about importing and selling e-cigs.

Yeah as far as I have read there is no regulation on it as far as the smoking bans. The way I read it is that each locale will be required to regulate. However once the official classification is over they will not be allowed in places that prohibit ALL tobacco products. IE schools and some hospitals. BUT with the way ecigs work I would love to see them prove I just went around the corner and vaped

I wondered about that too. And what about insurance companies that give lower rates to non-tobacco users?

If they do not test for Nicotine then you are fine , if they do just tell them that you are on the patch

Technically tobacco is not the only source of nicotine. It can easily be derived from many other vegetables and plants.

True, but most insurance companies test for cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine. If they find a certain level of cotinine, above a very low threshold to allow for exposure to nicotine from other sources, then you are considered a smoker.

Thats absolutely true Gmoney. Im frankly super surprised no one has ever seriously contested that. I expect eventually someone will.
