I was just wondering if there was ban would buying ecigs from oversees would still be allowed for personal use? I only see them stopping the sales in the USA any and all options are welcome Thanks. Brandee personally a ban would be hard to implement so like I have said before I am asking out of curiosity and would like to here peoples views on the issues. Thanks again. :D

As far as selling/buying goes, I can't help thinking about the marijuana laws. According to CNN it's become the most profitable industry in America. I suspect we will manage to get most of our supplies one way or another.

Bans just lead to underground networks. History has shown this time and again.

I'll just say the same thing I've seen above - continue to order from overseas - keep your qty's small - ask your seller what they're putting as a declaration on the customs label, and roll the dice.

There are - literally - hundreds of thousands of small, personal use packages coming into the US every day. Custom's cannot check them all. Orders will get through. But, it's a risk - period. If it gets intercepted, you lose.

Just keep in mind that a ban won't be aimed at users, but at companies. If applied, it would target those companies identified as shipping e-smoking products into America. Tracking "shipments from" is not some impossible task in this computer age.

The companies will get the message and stop shipping those $10 atomizers. Users will lose since companies will collect money for shipments never received by users, who will scream they want their money back. That will be followed by a lot of finger-pointing and forum-ranting! The frustrations all around will shut down this market.

This will end only when e-smoking is legal. And that's not up to us.

You forget, this is the information age.

Once someone figures out how to make an atomizer at home with commonly available parts, that's it. Eventually, someone *will* puzzle it out, in simple step-by-step turns, and other folks will build on it. Once that happens, it's officially out of their hands, unless they want to get to the point that they'll try to put such devices in the realm of the illegal . . . and Phillip Morris won't allow that.

It'd stop them from releasing their own.

not true if it goes illegal...companies overseas will just make a disclaimer...if it gets seized we cannot be held responsible and will not refund your money...you purchase at your own risk..

people buying illegal stuff have to know that beforehand just like anything else
