I quit smoking in August 2011, when I got my first Ego kit, I had 2 cigs that night, haven't had one since.....
Is that proof?

They don't care about your health. They care about tax dollars. And they're losing it to ecigs.
I just keep hearing that line about "there's no proof that ecigs help people quit smoking" and I keep thinking, yes there is, its right here
Also, not to be political, but Joe Biden was on TV talking about gun control, and the spectre of saving just one life, well, as long as his administration is waging war on people who want to quit smoking, I'm calling bull s**t.
As long as they maintain that "head-buried-in-the-sand" approach, the tax coffers stay filled.
Early vote buying -- a selfish, not public interest.
More like trying to get the public used to the concept of prohibition as a means of solving the issue of the day.
Not to mention all the other fine companies and folks out there that dont want this all to be, tobacco companies stand to loose alot, drug companies stand to loose alot and of course the feds arnt getting their "fair share". Then there are other organizations that are just naysayers because they dont understand it and think its smoke. Then there are the other naysayers that think everyone should just quit like the american heart people.
I wish they would all just stay out of my business and let me be!

I tend to think both issues are idealogical at their nature. Not that there aren't other interests involved, but both of these issues have, at their core, a false assumption that those in the ruling class no best how we should live.
I have a problem with the fact that the FDA exists period, but then again, I'm a fan of liberty.
I feel for my favorite vendors. I love doing business with the little guys. I don't want to get low-quality, highly taxed e-liquid at Wal-Mart >;(
My vendors take good care of me and I want to maintain that relationship. I don't want to see them go under due to heavy regulation. Small businesses are the lifeblood of a robust economy!

Perhaps ideological, definitely not intelligent, most likely dishonest.
"Looking" isn't all that hard when one wants to look.
The form of it would change. They can set their sites up in Russia, China or wherever ... Gov'ts can't plug the holes any longer ... just wage cheap words.
Even in jurisdictions where sales of unregulated nicotine is prohibited, e-vendors flourish, they just become smarter in how deal with the situation. Learn and adapt, and where there is a will, there is a way.
E-cig'ing technology can not be made to go away.

I wonder how much in tax dollars would they lose in shutting down the mom and pop stores I deal with.
Not nearly the amount they get from the pharmaceutical industry in contributions. And from the tobacco companies if you end up going back to cigarettes.
On average, they lose approx. twice as much in comparison to cig taxes Gov'ts collect.
