Apologies in advance for a crappy attitude this evening...
And likely not a popular opinion, but my perception is that this war was lost quite a while back. When there wasn't a REVOLT over the very first "deeming" in which things like little plastic boxes were legislatively defined as being "tobacco products". That was some real "Ministry of Truth" bull.... right there - and it stood.
Then we had exploding batteries, followed by the tainted cart fiasco, where vaping made the news for hospitalizing people.
All in all, enemies of vaping did a good enough job and won. We're just living through the slow process of getting to the end-game.
I said over five years ago that the end game had Tobacco and/or Pharmaceutical companies as the only authorized vendors of nicotine, and the product would have to replace cigarette revenue: The obvious feature likely being a non-refillable cartridge.
If I were less lazy, or in the industry, I'd probably do a deep study of how the MJ (THC) business seems to have won their battle, while we (nicotine vapers) lost ours. Well, actually...that's probably the answer. That fight took a good 30 years, didn't it? Maybe there's a path to follow there - and with a model, perhaps compress the timeline a bit.
I've only got something like 15 years worth of nicotine. I guess I'll get some more if it looks like they're gonna tax it.
Did you see the tax proposed? Looks clear to me that some a$$hat wrote it intending to add $5 to the cost of a 30ml bottle of 6mg juice - but if applied to DIY supplies, it's a $2700 tax on a liter of nic.
LOL. A sad LOL, but LOL.
