Have the rules been posted somewhere that the sellers can find? I can find local tobacco shops online, on facebook, etc. That's not going to change. Nobody in the US will be telling FastTech to shut down their web site.
What exactly will they ban? I haven't watched TV in years so I don't know what's happening there, and there's no such thing as magazines any more, right? Everything I know about vaping products I see online. Half the time I don't know if it's a US site or offshore. I think mostly it's offshore these days. This forum is probably sitting on a server in the UK.
If they start turning the screws will vapers be sheep or wolves?
Rayon Wiki Page
"In early 2010, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission warned several retailers that six major manufacturers were falsely labeling rayon products as "bamboo", in order to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. While rayon may be produced from bamboo as a raw material, and both rayon and bamboo may be used for similar fabrics, rayon is so far removed from bamboo by chemical processing that the two are entirely separate."
Would like to see the FTC apply the same logic to extracted nicotine.

Hard liquor adds are not allowed on TV I believe. I wonder what the legal justification is. Was tobacco advertising banned by a civil agreement or by a law that regulates free speech on TV? Cigarettes packs have logos and branding printed on them. That's advertising. Obvously that's allowed. Freedom of speech comes into play at some point otherwise the government could control everything simply by asserting authority over speech.

The government has always asserted some control over speech on radio and TV that uses the "public" airwaves under licenses granted by the FCC. E.g.:

My mistake. I stopped watching TV years ago.
And they'll be back up with another site name that isn't in the .com TLD in a day or two.
I just saw a TV commercial today, labor day, for an O2pur E-cigarette.
I didn't think that could happen now.
I'm not giving away information FDA and it's allies don't already know given that thousands of people saw the commercial.

I notice the ads on TV all the time too. There's no way the FDA doesn't know.
I read that the O2pur ecig was released one day before the regs went into effect so they can still sell for the 2 year period.
The issue is not that it's for sale, but a tobacco product advertised on TV.
