One step closer to FDA regulation?

[AZHIGHWAYZ]

Just read this today. I know they've been going after e-liquid due to the robust amount of flavors available saying they are targeted at a younger age group. If they succeed in regulating flavored cigars/tobacco products you can bet it will include e-liquid.

Big Brother can BITE ME!!

 

[Thrasher]

yup, and il still go to wizard labs for unflavored nic, then head over to flavor apprentice for some approved food grade flavorings and give em the finger when my box arrives.

 

[Natebreynolds]

So your telling me that that the FDA Allows whipped cream flavored vodka??? Who does this target? It makes me so freaking mad!!! Drunk driving accidents kill more teens every year!

 

[Johnny101]

I guess the FDA and big brother have nothing better to do than tell me how I should run my life

 

[Vapolith]

I'm sure many of us started smoking long before any kind of flavoring was popular in tobacco products, and before legal smoking age. Did the lack of favors discourage us?

Yep, doesn't make any sense. How about sugared cereal? They should ban that too, if they want to be consistent.

Wizard has a great selection of TFA flavors... why shop two places?

RE: Flavoring... they just don't seem to get it. ALL e-juice is flavored, unless you're vaping straight PG or VG. If they ban other flavors, they have to ban tobacco flavored.

Oh Lord... they played the "what about the children"-card. We're screwed.

I really despise that card.

 

[Fyreffect]

Reminds me of the Trix commercial.
"Silly vapers, flavors are for kids. R-...right?"

No. Do these people, for one second, think that flavors are something adults are less interested in? How is something targeted to kids simply by being flavored? This argument is such a manufactured load of BS.

 

[BigBen2k]

I don't think we have much to worry about, yet.

The FDA (faults and all) is interested in tobacco additives because their chemical composition changes when they are burned (oxidized).

There is nothing in an e-cig that is oxidized.

AH-YES, by all means lets protect the children.

Oh really? That's why the talk of teen cig use decreasing while cigar use increased? No, they're using the usual kid card. I'm so freakin sick of that card. I can't buy a can of touchup spray paint without showing ID and signing. Now I hear I won't be able to buy nail polish remover without doing that too. If parents don't want to monitor their teens or raise them with more good sense, lock them in a closet til they're 21 and quit expecting me to make personal sacrifices because you don't. I seldom rant but this just irks me.

Since there are so many Americans that are sick of the "for the children" card being played I just have to ask...
Who do these politicians expect to vote for them based on the playing of that card?

Thoughts?

Sadly, I don't see the Nanny State mentality going away any time soon.

Parents and especially grandparents. Part of the point of playing that card is that anyone who tries to oppose it automatically puts themselves in a bad light. You can't have a sensible debate on any meaningful level once that card is played. A democracy is run on whipping up emotions and chastising the opposition, not appealing to rational thinking.

"Why should we protect the profits of those who lure our children into a life of addiction to harmful substances?"

 

[DC2]

Parents and especially grandparents.

Is it all parents, or just certain "types" of parents?
And grandparents? Really? You think so?

I had more hope for grandparents, but what do I know.
I don't even have children, let alone grandchildren.

Well I have great grandchildren. I smoked in front of both my children & grandchildren, but wouldn't even think about vaping in front of my great grandchildren. So I guess it even gets worse

Wow....a jump to a conclusion wrapped in a stereotype wrapped in an enigma of unknown future regulation.

Of all the e-cig regulation I worry about, the flavoring thing is the least of them. Meh. I buy my own flavoring and make my own juice anyway. Banning FLAVORING in e-juice is futile. And largely irrelevant.

I'll bet they tax the cigars....meh.
