How do you think the prospect of electronic cigarette business future?

I personally think they cant stop this train. It's 1000 times better for you than smoking. The thing my husband and I worry about is Altria acting like the mobsters they are, buying up most of the vapor companies and making a vapor so addictive there's no way you could ever quit doing it.

My personal opinion is that the FDA and Washington is absolutely owned, bought and paid for by big tobacco and the big pharma thus this year there will be huge sweeping and crippling regulations from the feds to basically ban any and all "Ecigs", vaporizers, and juice. Enjoy it while it lasts people, I hate to have such a grim out look on it but the feds are so out of control there is no stopping them.

I (unfortunately) agree with your assessment Might be a tough couple years until there is legit scientific studies/research done that will counter the pseuso-science BS being released currently..

Interesting thought. If it is true, then I should applaud to BT for self-imposed sin tax and big settlement money. I should applaud BP for installing so strict rules on new drags that it takes years and millions (if not billions) to get them approved. It should be a wonderful country with such wonderful companies.

Government is bad by itself, but could be driven to be even worse.

Then is it coincidence that almost every "approved" drug from the FDA has a current or former law suit against it for killing or irreparably harming people? Is it not a fact that tobacco kills millions a year and although the government feigns opposition to tobacco, they are happy to take their money.

At the federal level, elected officials provide oversight via committee appointments but it is career bureaucrats who formulate, institute, and enforce policy. They are by and large unreachable through the ballot box. Even when there is turn-over in the upper reaches of a federal agency things tend to chug along much as they always have because staffing has been in place for decades and it trains and habituates each successive generation of employee.

So what? I do not see your point.
Do you know how many parents kill their children unintentionally, by mistake? Will you argue for separation of children from parents at birth?

We are talking about taxes, sin taxes and it won't take years to implement them. We need to feed our greedy congress and BT will supply us as a main course.

Ok who is talking about separating kids from their folks? I am talking about an over burdensome out of control federal government taxing, regulating and banning everything out of existence under the false pretense "it for our own good" or "for the greater good"... Everyone who is a lover of freedom should valiantly oppose these bans and regulations or everything we enjoy doing like vaping will be taken from us.
