Learn to make it yourself. Once you do that, it's so close to free that the costs are hardly worth worrying about. The cost of the ingredients for my liquid works out to roughly $5 per month.This is my question if the FDA register nicotine as a drug, could my hmo be used to purchase my e-liquid.
It pays for the patches and the pills, why not the e-liquid.
Didn't one of the head honchos at FDA mention a potential OTC pathway for ENDS a while back?Patches and other NRT and smoking aid products are drugs and regulated as such by the FDA. E liquid cannot be sold with any sort of smoking cessation claim or it will be regarded as an unapproved and mislabeled product. You need formal testing and approval before selling any new drug. That's a path vaping manufacturers do not want to go down. That is a ton of work and two tons of dollars to attempt with no assurance of approval. Vaping is bring treated under the TCA which hopefully will be a more reasonable approach than a new drug approval.
Your insurance carrier will only pay for approved prescription medications and maybe some over the counter stuff like NRT patches and gum. Maybe. There's no way they'll pay for your juice if it's not approved as a drug with proven efficacy for smoking cessation. Unless you're in the UK where their National Health Service is a lot more open to the idea of giving out vape stuff to help people quit.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought it was a good idea.Eh, that's still under the drug arm of the FDA rather than the tobacco arm.
Yep - mine works out to less than a buck for 30ml, and so mine is only between $2-3/mo.Learn to make it yourself. Once you do that, it's so close to free that the costs are hardly worth worrying about. The cost of the ingredients for my liquid works out to roughly $5 per month.
Yep. I don't carry any life insurance anymore, but much to my surprise, my health insurance company does not consider a vaper to be a "tobacco user". And yes, I got it in writing from them before I let them change my status.But here's another route to save money - I checked with my insurance agent after quitting smokes to see if I can get the non-smoker rate for one of my term life policies

But there's also the question wither OTC approval for some products would preclude PMTA or MRTA approval for others? My thinking is that it wouldn't.

Why not? Is the nicotine in Nicorette (and similar) products not derived from tobacco, just like ours is?They should be treated separately, but you're left with the big problem that getting an OTC approval on what's been deemed a tobacco product is going to be impossible from a practical perspective. Can you actually approve a tobacco product, even for OTC sales as a drug?

I mean, that's a bit like expecting the insurance company to pay for a glass of fine French wine because it's good for your heart.
You know they'd hand you a bottle of maddog.
