How Vaping will be Effectively Banned Nationwide

[Stosh]

Regulations are not aimed at current vapers, we're collateral damage. If they can stop the flood of NEW vapers, the tax money, BT profits and BP profits will be preserved. Health be damned so long as the money flows....

Shhhh. We aren't supposed to figure that out.

Quite the contrary!

Following the precedent established by drug rehab programs, et al, these things should be government subsidized & distributed via the already established quit smoking programs.

Just last night I ran across a recent blog, guest written by the director of a smoking cessation program - short story she educated herself and the staff about vaping. e-cigs/vaping are now an unofficial part of their program.

Did anyone else see this? I can't find it amongst my 200+ open tabs ;(

Back to topic:

From Clive Bates' "Counterfactual blog:
Let there be light! Guest blog from stop smoking service manager

4) Big tobacco has started to buy ecig companies. It wants its investment protected with regulation and has the skills, equipment, scientists, and spin doctors to put up against a very fragmented industry.

This is buying up the competition, it paying off the opposition.

I wouldn't concede to paying sin tax any more than I advocate for regulations. People are sounding like its ok or expect to pay tax. Its not ok. This is a harm reduction product, these are NOT cigarettes. Lets not concede anything. NO TO REGULATIONS NO TO TAX. if we start a negotiation from the middle ground we will lose every time. Our government (local, state, and federal) isn't compromising on anything without a fight, why should we.

I've said this in the Utah thread. What the gov is doing tree is an old negotiation tactic we should know. If we start at a middle ground they will take it all. If we start at the lowest point we prolly can look to settle at something in the middle. Some guy in Utah named
Aaron Frazier who supposedly is on the vapors side( I emphasize supposedly) he has been talking with politicians and pretty much told people here they are gonna be regulations (middle ground) . Politican Ray is trying to take it all. If they actually had somebody fighting and negotiating for Utah vapors and started low I'd say Non-Rep Ray wouldn't be as eager to take it all.
