How will this affect me? Should I just start chewing and smoking again?

First of all, I didn't see this feed anywhere, it's actually flown pretty under the radar until I was browsing a demonic story about ecigs that came out to today I posted but then it got deleted (sorry moderators, bad subject matter.) In my opinion it was to cover up the story that this is going through...

Protecting children at heart of E-cigarette bill | Deseret News

Here is what i'm most concerned with:
HB112 would require the state health department to regulate e-cigarette manufacturing, specifically that the nicotine be pharmaceutical-grade. Companies outside Utah would need to provide a document proving that a product meets Utah standards

and

Prohibition of Internet sales of e-cigarettes would jeopardize a company's ability to compete on a global market, said Nicholas DeLand, an equity owner in a Utah e-cigarette company. He suggested using age verification services as a way to restrict youths.
Ray said age verification upon delivery isn't reliable enough. He also said many of the proposed regulations would be pre-empted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, should the agency complete studies and regulate e-cigarettes.


Should I just go out and buy a can of chew because these guys are passing regulations based on BS they've come up with? Will this affect DIY juice and getting 2 Reos I was planning to buy in a few weeks?

    Where in Utah? If you live along the front, there are plenty of B&M's to choose from. It's the 75% of the state that's in the boonies that is going to get hurt by this. The Bloomburg mentality just doesn't work in a "rural" aria.

    BTW, the senate version will be heard tomorrow morning in the capital building at 8:30am, I encourage you to be there!

    You can follow the story here from 2-10:
    Utah bill (HB 112) by Paul Ray would ban the manufacture and sale of all e-cigs that don’t contain pharmaceutical grade nicotine, require license to make/sell

    Senator Congressman Paul Ray had more than protecting the children in mind.

    Follow the comments of member Bill Godshall. He appears to have met with Ray and was lied to in spades.

    Unfortunately I have work and a few appointments, and I'm going through the process of buying a house on top of it all. I don't want to go to bms. I've just started research on RBAs and diy and don't want that effected by online purchases.

    Utah Vapers - sorry for the delay in an update but it’s been a crazy busy 2 days dealing with 2 separate bills and trying to meet up with as many on the hill as I could possibly get in with. As you probably already know both bills passed their respective committees and the next step is to be read on their home floor. Both bills are only about 20-25% through the process so there is still time to make an impact.

    Here’s what you now need to do. Start emailing, tweeting & calling members of the House & Senate regarding the respective bills. You will need to be brief and to the point and avoid sending pages of information as anything over a couple paragraphs is likely to be skimmed over. Since there are two bills affecting our community, make sure you are very clear as to why you are calling - and remember, neither sponsor has anything to do with the other bill.

    Full details on the 2nd phase of the Utah Call to Action can be found here: Utah Call to Action
