And therein lies the problem. In recent decades our policies have little or nothing to do with science or facts and are more emotionally knee jerk and or money driven.
try money driven about 99.99% of the time.

Congress not only has the Right, they have a Responsibility to Do So.
They are supposed to be part of the Check and Balance so that an agency like the FDA doesn't go Off the Reservation like they have with e-Cigarettes.
The root of our problems is that we (well most of us) are humans.
When federal statutes conflict with state statues, that's correct. But when a specific state statute defines something in a particular way for the purposes of that statute, I do not think a federal regulation defining something more broadly would override a narrower definition in the statute statute.Federal trumps State
I grabbed a ton of jwraps for a buck on Provape.com.I just got a Glovari 2.5 today, and you all are right! Feels weird, and I'm afraid I will manage to chip it. Did you cover the button and screen when spraying? I have some clear gloss spray, but I'm chicken! Still hoping for a J-Wraps sale.
Bottom line is they classify Vaping as tobacco due to it has nicotine, so with that logic Potato's, Tomatoes, Eggplant, Cauliflower, etc., etc. is Tobacco.
Push needs be on the threshold issue and that is it.
It would probably be a better chance.I have asked this Many Times. And gotten Very Few answers.
If the Predicate Date was change to Mid 2014 in the Cole-Bishop Amendment, do you think it would have a Better Chance of making it thru Reconciliation?
And would you Support moving the Predicate date to Mid-2014?
Tobacco has a few percent nicotine -- 3% might be typical. Yet extracting vape-quality nic from tobacco is not trivial.Just for some knowledge base, how hard would it be to extract nicotine from potatoes? Heck, potatoes can be grown in a bag now, so would be about the cheapest and easiest to work with. Is the nicotine in the actual potato, or is it in the leaves/stems? Would the extraction be difficult or require stuff most people wouldn't have access to?
If they are anything like my last dog they probably grabbed it off of a neighbor's patio table.My kids got me a Pico. I'm wondering how my 4 kiddos came up with the money.
At this point, I'm not asking how. Just glad I got another back up for my back up back up.............

That would also cut out the higher wattage stuff which the vape opponents want to do.
Yep should be a cheaper and faster way to approval.And a Mid-2014 Predicate Date would include a Significant Portion of the e-Cigarette Market.
Also, can't a SE Application be done on a Predicated product?
...
Juice now is a whole nuther can of worms. since virtually no juice that was made in 2014 is still around in the same formula.
True. Good point.Oh Contraire.
Unflavored and Nicotine Base.
True. Good point.
I was thinking of commercial flavored ejuice.
which is what the vast majority vape.
2014... We would have evods? Nauti's, and such attys?
And maybe 30 watt mods?
There are guys at work that belong to online cigar clubs that live in my state, West Virginia.
They purchase cigars online all the time and they said that they only have to sign for the packages when they arrive.
I figure the same conditions will apply to e-cigs. To be sure I looked up my current state laws.
So for the people of WVa....

Now the new regs can be confusing, I've watched several vids of lawyers and such, but not having a law degree left me still a bit confused. Probably the best video for the average person to understand, at least for me anyways, was the Totally Wicked Discussion <<< Vid link.
They discuss stockpiling, price increases and more. I found it very informative and just wanted to share.
Dozens of questions about Free Samples, 2 Question about Age Verification for Online Sales.
One answer was... "Yes"
The other answer (the 2nd to Last Question in this Webinar, 1:07:43) was... "Yes, it has to be a Photo ID."

Potatoes have about 7 parts per billion. Nevermind the equipment and process, to make a liter of 100mg base, you're going to need to start with with roughly 16,000 TONS of potatoes. Figure they'll cost you a couple hundred dollars a ton, minimum. That's $3.2 million dollars worth of raw materials.
I do not think this is practical. At all.
