Ummmm... It's not propaganda. It's fact.
Might want to do some research. The current budget for the state of Texas is $94.6 BILLION.

Sorry my mistake, but its ok. You can point out my 1 error and ignore every other point I've made throughout my numerous posts. Great debating, make Rick Perry proud.Ummmm... It's not propaganda. It's fact.

The one about BT not being for regulation, the one about the Master Settlement being propaganda or the one about the state budget?Sorry my mistake, but its ok. You can point out my 1 error and ignore every other point I've made throughout my numerous posts. Great debating, make Rick Perry proud.
It's all about the money.
Look into the Master Settlement Agreement. They're pumping billions into state and local governments (which incidentally is probably less than they would have spent on advertising). If people switch to vaping, they drop the cigarettes, costing both the politicians and BT megabucks.
Here's an outstanding post from another thread:

Regulations, especially onerous ones, are only inevitable if enough people believe them to be. You're making Clayton Williams proud - relax and enjoy it.
I don't have a single problem with Civil Disobedience in any form; it's the only possible answer to stupid laws.
.. in one of our own historical documents, there is a reference to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," as in, those are our rights. Denying smokers the option to vape is taking all three, because if they take your life, you have no liberty, and you damn sure can't have happiness if you're dead.

It seems people aren't understanding my position, so let me clarify: Regulations are inevitable, we can either fight them and lose no matter what or we can help write them and make sure; A) Unicorn milk mistake doesn't repeat itself B) we are not lumped in with cigarettes limited where we can vape.
I have about 10 years nic. I'd buy more but not sure about shelf life or if I can bring it to another country.
I have a question... I'd gladly sign that Initiative about vaping in Europe, but not being European (except my ancestry of course!), not sure my signature would be welcome, or would do any good. Let me know if folks from other countries are welcome to sign it, and I'll be more than glad to do so.

I'm not sure that there's anything for you to sign. Perhaps if you want to add your voice on a personal level however you could e-mail Martin Schulz. He's the current president of the European parliament and his mail address is martin.schulz@europarl.europa.eu , well that's the only one I know anyway He's a German gentleman, but is fluent in English.
I agree that this should be about the global rights to break away from the big money.
