Our government has been saying for years that new regulations are coming to allow for the sale of ejuice with nicotine, but now they are apparently considering banning flavors.

There is a petition by NDS you can sign here to oppose this:

I don't remember if you do DIY, but now is the time to consider getting into it if you haven't already.

Governments all over are totally loopy with their silly flavor bans.

Here in the US several states and local municipalities have enacted flavor bans. Many on ECF have been able to stock-up on nicotine for their DIY mixes.

I don't ever see VG/PG and individual flavors being banned here. Each are used in many products outside of vaping.

Yeah, I've started a while back and then put it on hold, but that's not an option for most people.

If vaping is going to be a real alternative to smoking for the 'unwashed masses', we need flavored juice. There's always imports, I guess.

There is a tiny bit of logic to flavor bans and a lot of stupid. The tiny bit of logic is that a lot of flavorings used in e-cigs are not certified for the temperatures e-cigs can attain, and there is evidence that menthol is not a good thing when inhaled. The stupid bit is that whole “the flavorings appeal to children” thing. Tobacco does not taste good but there were children smoking anyway for hundred of years. it’s a self evidently worthless concept. It’s dumb. Same kind of logic as trumpers use. If I controlled it I would do the testing to certify flavors, and possibly limit retail (be it B&M or online) nicotine concentration to no more than 25mg (a filterless “full flavor” cigarette like a lucky strike) There are some idiots who vape at 3 times that concentration. You want a greater concentration prove you’re a business. In the U.S. a tax ID number would do it) One literally can’t stop Vaping by declaring it illegal any more than one can stop alcohol use. It just won’t work. Making it illegal will just be a huge mess
