O-bama can this really be the end?
To be stuck inside of Customs with the FDA blues again.

Thanks to Bob Dylan, or is that TropicalBob Dylan PhD?

Ya think if they could find a way to tax it and make money the govt. will approve of vapin? If RJR or Brown&Williams was marketing them with the appropriate lobbyists and political contributions they would be much more likely to get approval. The primary source of PV being China doesn't help because of all the recent problems and publicity with the lead, melamine etc.

Ya know, just call me stupid, but wasn't the publicly stated goal of the new and improved "sin tax" to get smokers to quit?????? It's working!!!

I'm guessing they're just not liking the direction smokers are taking to stop smoking...How dare we excersize our rights as fully functioning, decision making adults! Shame on all of us!!
You can say that again. 100% correct. BACKFIRE

I just bought some Capstar for my pets to get rid of fleas. It really works. Yup - all fleas dead in one half hour. Know why?

IT'S NICOTINE!!!

I wondered why my pets spazzed out as soon as I fed it to them. Like wicked crazy catnip bouncing off the walls and fleas dying en mass. That's why kids. Nicotine. It's a pesticide as well as other things. Now you know why mosquitos stay away from you. It's the nicotine in your blood.

So I think we should relabel these as pest deterant delivery devices. Why not? I can hop my pets up on nicotine, so why can't I be pest free? I live in Florida. Serious business!

So the way things look, vaping might be:

  • less harmful than smoking
  • a flu preventative
  • a way to ward off malaria
Obviously, it should be banned 8-o


Yes, I so need to go back to the cancer sticks so I can help the poor defenseless children without health insurance....

WHERE'S YOUR PATRIOTIC SPIRIT?!?!?!

Well for one thing- I think (if i remember correctly) the FDA considers insect repellent an OTC...(back to square one):(

You are correct and not stupid. The powers-that-be just hope that we are stupid. They say those things tongue-in-cheek and with a wink. They don't REALLY want more than a handful to quit. What if something came along that actually helped a great many people to quit? Where would the money come from then? Think of the children! 8-o

I can confirm that NJOY had their shipments seized. I got this from Chelsea on Friday in response to my wanting to exchange my NPRO:

-------------
Randy,

I apologize sincerely, today I was just given word that we don’t have any product to exchange anymore.

The government has stopped our shipments and we are out of product.

We will be able to continue operating as usual when the government is done with their ‘investigation’.

I apologize, and hopefully this will be solved shortly.

Thank you!

Not to mention the dent to their campaign contributions from Big Tabacco would be reduced if smokers all quit and cut their profits:cry:
