Love the Propaganda. Really like that ONLY KIDS must like the sweet stuff. Everyone make sure to tell your kids that once they are 18 they will no longer like the sweets, just to prepare them. From what I read, most on ECF like the sweet liquid over the plain tobacco, which is what they are getting away from. But I guess we will keep seeing stuff like this until they do some studies and they regulate it so you have to be over 18 to purchase it. Well I have no problems, I am over 18 (3 times) and I know even if there is some bad, which I don't believe, It Is Still 100 Times Better Than Cigarettes.

I don't know what I think of these news articles. I don't think government can ever touch us. You cannot outlaw batteries, equipment, or juice. The only thing they might be able to do is regulate nicotine. In which case all that will happen is a huge tax on nicotine. I won't ever smoke again, but if they did find a way to make it illegal I would find a way to keep on vaping. At worst, id vape till I run out of juice and just quit that too.

The CDC thing really energized the base for all those opposed to e-smoking
and I suggest it was "planned" in advance to rally support for the FDA
to step in to save the childreeeeeen.

 

[Ranic85]

well of course it was planned. Get the people fired up and to rally them under the flag of propaganda. I don't think its my problem that parents can't control their "children."

Their is another person that loved to use those tactics. He was named "Adolf Hitler."

October is 2 weeks away and that's when the FDA will announce their "deeming regulations." It is no coincidence the media is buzzing.

Is October a "lock-in" for when the FDA will propose it's mischief ??

And no coincidence that October is the EU vote on the TPD which includes ecigs.

With the propaganda bombs that are dropping I'm beginning to think it is a lock.

From what I read here in the forum from Bill Godshall. Everyone thought it was going to happen back in April of this year, but they only intended to open NRTs for indefinite use at that time. I understood (unless I misunderstood LOL) that they are going to deal with deeming regulations in October. Don't know for certain if they'll deal with ecigs, I hope someone with more insider knowledge will post here. But it is interesting that Britain postponed their decision on ecigs until October also.

We can speculate all we want, but we'll just have to wait. The reving up of media propaganda seems to indicate something is happening soon at the FDA. I think it's more to do with taxes, regulations on eliquid quality control, and maybe requiring special licenses from vendors. I don't believe they're going to outright ban ecigs as the government needs money and sin taxes are an easy mark if the reasoning behind it is turned into a moral issue of "save the children." They'll probably say that the money will be used to educate "the children" as to the evils of nicotine.

How do you know it's October 2nd? Did the FDA come out and announce a specific date? I thought it was October 2013, no actual day specified. The notice (for this go around) is here (View Rule) and has a date of 10/00/2013, but no legal deadline.

Remember that the FDA can "only" regulate, they can't tax. But they certainly can try to regulate ecigs out of existence, though they know they'll be barraged with lawsuits if they do, so I'm clinging to the hope that they'll be fearful enough to be somewhat reasonable.

Nope, just like it wasn't the last few times they were supposed to propose something. However, this time there seems to be more publicity and probably more pressure on the FDA to release something.
