Altria Group Inc., owner of the nation's biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, announced in late April that its NuMark subsidiary plans to introduce an electronic cigarette during the second half of the year, making it the last of the major domestic tobacco companies to enter the growing category.
Reynolds American Inc., owner of the second-biggest U.S. cigarette maker, has begun limited distribution of its first electronic cigarette under the Vuse brand and Lorillard Inc., the nation's third-biggest tobacco company, acquired e-cigarette maker Blu Ecigs in April 2012
I know this is old news to most but I was thinking / hoping that with Big Tobacco companies jumping on the e-cig band wagon, With their Big Tobacco Money, this might help our cause. They have the money and still some power left to fight or persuade the law makers.
But then again will it hurt vaping?
I mean here in Pennsylvania they came out with them roll your own cigarette machines, first off the state wouldn't let tobacco stores own one, you had to rent it from the state for $20,000. Don't think it lasted a year, State was losing to much tax money so they seized them all back. Not sure if they gave the stores their money back.
But my point if these Big company's see the DIY is costing them money they might try to stop them. One way is to pass a law you have to have either a pharmacies license, or a state license to sale nicotine.
Again in Pa only the state can sale alcohol. A private own store can sale Beer, but Wine, whiskey, champagne are all sold by State Owned and Run stores. Basically if it has a certain percentage of alcohol in it they sale it.
So I wouldn't be surprised if my State would pass a law that only they can sale nicotine or even PG.
So I just wanted to know what others thoughts and opinions on this was?
