Since Johnson Creek is financially bedded to BLU / Lorrillard and has gone on record as to their take on the FDA possibilities and it's possible business impact, as well as being a seller of bottled liquids, I'd hold off judging what "limited choices" may or may not be in the future ..

FAQs Johnson Creek Smoke Juice

Is the possible FDA involvement in e-smoking going to affect your business?

A: No. We do not anticipate any real issues with the FDA as they begin to develop rules and regulations for the industry. In fact, we feel that we already adhere to many if not all regulations they're likely to impose, such as; child safety caps, & plastic shrink banded caps. We are also the first company to voluntarily list our ingredients on our bottles and print warnings for children and pets. We're also quite proud of the ultra sanitary conditions and use of personal protective equipment in a HEPA-filtered environment in which we bottle our Smoke juice. Johnson Creek Original Smoke juice is made from scratch in America, with the highest grade ingredients available. While we do not know what the FDA will choose to do with regard to regulating the e-smoking industry, we're ready for and welcome their involvement.

Isn't that like the pot, that feeds the kettle, calling itself black?

Where will be the loss for Johnson Creek if e-liquids per se get banned, and all you can buy is the e-lquid.... in Blue e-cigs?

The question posed on their site is "Is the possible FDA involvement in e-smoking going to affect your business?" not "Is the possible FDA involvement in e-smoking going to affect your (that would be MY) vaping?

Lorrillard must be coercing the web design for Johnson Creek. :glare: That's exactly the BS spin I would expect from any mega corporation.

Pharmaceutical product is a product that cures you.
Correction: Pharmaceutical product is a product that alleviates your symptoms and keeps you coming back for more

In fact, if their product can alleviate your symptoms while causing other problems, even better.
Then they can sell you another product to alleviate those symptoms too!

Curing you is not in their best interest.

True ...
BP is in the Drug Maintenance Business.
Otherwise they would be in the business of putting themselves out of business.

Or JC is privy to info that we are not aware of .. myself, I do not believe liquid will be banned .. it will be taxed, it will be regulated with a set of standards and I believe JC is hinting at just that in their FAQ ...

Folks, My advice to all vapers: Lets not get too comfortable. Absolutely nothing wrong with being optimistic. Lets not let our guard down. Lets try to remember what many have been fighting for since 2009. Lets not lose focus. Lets not forget history. Lets not forget the power of big corporations. Lets not forget the power of lobbyists. Lets not forget the power of the ANTZ. I can go on and on!!! I say we keep our guard up and KEEP FIGHTING. If "e-cigs are here to stay" It is because of the power of the people!!!! WE HAVE PUT OURSELVES IN A GOOD POSITION. LETS KEEP IT THAT WAY!!!

Man. You guys are such downers. Booo!

I know it's a real issue. But does EVERY. single. thread. have to degrade into antz/government/BT/BP vs e-cigs? It's depressing! Can't we just have some fun talking about the commercials?

Not that I'm not concerned. Heck, I even stocked up on nic base. But Geeeeeeeze!

Here we go with another in-depth analysis on the future of e-cigs from every possible angle. I guess it's inevitable. Particularly when discussing advertising issues.

I guess the point is...I still don't know what 1/2 of you think of the commercial!

Sorry. Welcome to the internet, Atty. <slap> /rant


Anyway.....Hey Jenny..... Nice dress and cool "pack" storage....;) :)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, I'm going away now) :glare:

I agree ... we should take a break from the negatives.
There's countless gloom & doom, nail biting, we gotta fight (whoever) ... threads.

This is an e-cigarette discussion group and NOT the "War Room"

Obviously, Jenny is on-board with e-smoking and having fun.
:p

For the benefit of late comers who just go to the last page of threads
and missed the video.



PS: Can't wait to see what Playboy has in mind for TV ads.

Sorry to be the BUZZ KILL with my rant earlier. I am probably a bit too defensive when it comes to vaping and policy. Surely something I need to lighten up on. I will mention, that my earlier rant was triggered when Petrodus (who I enjoy reading very much) kind of declared the war on e-cigs is just about over (see post #35). And mentioned a bit about taxes etc....For what ever reason, I didn't get it and thought was premature (no offense Petrodus). And certainly you didn't seem to mind HIS political comments then (though I understand they were not negative). Unfortunately, we are going to all have to absorb reading some of this nonsense as it is relevant to the climate we are in. No Disrespect intended!!

As for the commercial, It reminded me of a TV mini series.....way too long. I have been in love with JENNY for the last 20 years! Blu i'm sure hit their mark as for content and perception. I don't think I cared for this one tho.

Well.. we'll see... it is hard to gauge what the FDA will do... the ultimate test will be once there are some long term medical studies on the effect vaping has on its users. If, as we hope, it turns out that the act is mostly benign, the FDA will probably only enact regulations aimed to make sure the act is safe.... safe manufacturing and packaging rules, etc. After all, e-liquid can (and has unfortunately) caused serious harm if not handled correctly. As for taxing things... the tax on cigarettes is a direct result of the massive toll it takes on the public health. If vaping is proven to have little to no negative impact, there is no justification of any added taxes.

To be honest, if it turns out that vaping actually does some serious harm, would we all get bent if the FDA drops the hammer? I mean, the vast majority of people here got into vaping as a way to AVOID health problems, not just repackage them in a different form.

Back to the OP and the commercial:

I happen think Jenny is a great spokesperson for e-cigs. She's always been outspoken in any TV interviews or articles I've read, and she just seems to have her stuff together. As much as I like Courtney Love as a musician, the NJoy commercial could be taken to show vapers in a bit of a negative (rebellious) light. Jenny, on the other hand, brings class and sex appeal to the table. And she has the ability to hold the attention of male viewers, like myself, in an extended commercial, which is a bonus! :D
