Good eCig Article in BusinessWeek

It's long but a good read and some good fact and some sad facts that we should be prepared to face.
E-Cigarettes: FDA Regulation Looms for $1.5 Billion Industry - Businessweek

Good article, but just thinking about what the FDA may do makes me want to increase my nicotine supply. And get a few other things (more mods, etc.).

Excellent and basically fair article on all counts. Interesting take that Big tobacco wants stricter regulations of e-cigarettes by the FDA, presumably to gain a larger market share from the stricter regulations effectively eliminating the smaller independent e-cig companies and banning online sales.

Hardware will never be able to banned or really even restricted. They are basically just batteries. Not to mention as long as i can get these "high drain flashlight batteries" I can always build my own mech out of pipe. It might not be pretty but it will be functional. I have been considering buying about 2liters of 100mg nic juice to store. I have found that as low as $230 or so for the 2 liters. As needed I could dilute that to my 10ish mg levels and end up with 20liters (20000ml). That should last me somewhere around 20 years.

I liked that part too. Especially since I have been saying the same thing for nearly a year.

I still dont get it. Most of us use these to quit smoking. Why would people thing that using them would make you want to smoke? I just really dont understand that logic.

No one would go from great tasting eCigs to .... flavored analogs unless they started on eCigs and then those got completely banned or taxed into oblivion. It's a straw dog argument. It's the ANTZ version of "Republicans want to kill grandma, because they don't support Obamacare." It's blatantly false and used to justify a bad position using some measure of shock value.
