Nothing to worry about, the FDA's application/approval process is really quite simple. First, companies need to hire engineers, chemists, doctors, lawyers, scientists, psychiatrists and other
experts to write thousands of pages of "reports" about a specific product. Then they pay the FDA a wad of money, submit the "reports" in triplicate and wait a few years until they receive a yea or nay. This must be accomplished for each and every vape item a company intends to market. For e-liquids, an application must be submitted for each flavor, every pg/vg ratio and every nic strength they intend to offer. A juice like "Peaches and Cream" offered in 4 different pg/vg ratios and 5 levels of nic strength would need 20 different applications. If a company happens to offer 10 different flavors in their line of e-liquids they'll need to submit a couple hundred different applications. Of course it will cost a "
little" money to do all this but you simply tack that cost of doing business onto the retail price of your product and let consumers pick up the tab. Same goes for any tobacco taxes states decide they're entitled to receive now that everything involved with vaping has been legally deemed a "tobacco product". Companies will just tack it all onto the price of the product. Consumers won't care, I see them happily spending $3 for a small bottle of
fancy -water- every single day so I doubt they'll mind paying $2 per ml for e-liquids once they realize how much safer all those poor little
abused children will be....
