Is anyone in the mood for a little rebellion? I'm especially fed up with the feds.

No need for rebellion, just a healthy demonstration of boundaries to the government that works for us, UT.
I for one would pay higher prices with the vendors that have been here for us if it would keep them viable.
DIY nicotine could be regulated in a way that required a license and certification to purchase. Heck, the local government in our town banned the sale of copper by individuals to control theft of A/C units and created an ordinance that required an HVAC license to sell scrap tubing and an electrical license to sell old copper wire. Now, my nephew who has a state issued general contractors license can't sell copper to recyclers without the aid of his HVAC and Electrical contractor friends.
Yes, nicotine could be controlled through licensing and taxation. As individuals, we might not be able to buy it without some kind of license. The Feds have much more power and freedom to act than my small city.

I don't think anyone can guess what our government can or can not do. It's a backwards world. All one has to do is look at recent legislation that has passed... just a few years ago, would you have believed any of it could have happened?
Just about everything ingestible that becomes popular eventually falls under regulation. I just can't see any other reason to attempt a ban on ejuice than an attempt to protect big tobacco and big pharma. Isn't it strange that government condones the quit smoking campaigns on one hand and then moves to protect the tax receipts from big tobacco through a ban attempt in another department?
Publicity will prevail. We now have medical sources issuing statements about electronic cigarettes being an effective and relatively safe way to quit smoking. They also have issued press releases that say propylene glycol may reduce lung infections and kill bacteria in the lungs and respiratory tracts of those who vape. It's even been supposed that PG can kill the flu virus. Heck, every hospital you enter has PG mist in the air to trap airborne viruses and other contaminants.
I guess it must be the nic they are after. Big Pharma has spoken. We are eating into their nicotine lozenge profits.

Here is someone who gets is.
Big Pharma wants to own nicotine.
Nicotine is showing great promise as a drug to treat many things that ail you.
How will Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, and Big Government find common ground?
By doing EXACTLY what the European Union is trying to do.
Everyone wins, except us.
ARAS - I feel ya... I hate this whole thing. Can't believe that in October when I started looking into this again all seemed to be somewhat calm - then December now April. I have a lot invested as well - nothing like you probably have in it but none the less it sux!
A local vendor's Internet site has been down for 2-3 weeks because the bank won't allow selling anything having to do with Ecigs. I don't know all the details but he only sells juices and for some reason it's a roadblock for him. They can do a lot to stop the juices and nicotine deliveries, and carts or clearos, etc. I'm set up in case I need to make my own juice and use rebuildables just in case. Got a ton of nic. Lol. And I think people should have a few mods with replaceable batts because if Ecigs are banned, you could get batts but there wouldn't be any ego-type Ecigs sold.
And maybe I'm thinking crazy but I think big tobacco will try to get it highly regulated so they can come in and make Ecigs for huge profit and make up for their losses on people not smoking. It would all be made by big tobacco and taxed. That's just my thoughts.
Yet, I bet the same people will be complaining when Medicare won't (or can't) pay for all the diabetes and other illnesses related to "super-size me" eating and other unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits.
Or when our insurance premiums go up to cover it.
Yeah...
Making someone buy Two 16oz Sodas versus One 32oz Soda is a Viable Solution.
What keeps coming to my mind is the guy that bought Blu from big tobacco recently. I saw a video of an interview of him about it. He basically made a comment that they aren't going to try to stop it but learn from it and hope to make it better. Those are my words I got from the interview. Which leads me to believe they are highly interested in Ecigs and figuring out a way to handle it. Set up labs maybe to make everything, regulate the distribution of liquid nicotine juices and etc, etc. I don't think big tobacco will try to stop Ecigs, but I do think they will try to own it somehow.
Feb 13th should be an Interesting Day.
