No. When I eat chocolate, which is rare, I eat actual chocolate from a chocolate shop or Aldis... Most chocolate milk has no real cocoa in it, yet is sold as chocolate milk...

It still has to contain cocoa:

4. Milk chocolate

(a) designates the product obtained from cocoa products, sugars and milk or milk products, which, subject to (b) contains:

- not less than 25 % total dry cocoa solids,

I think there is probably a discrepancy between a dictionary definition and food labeling regulation...

How much milk is in soy milk?

How much cocoa is in "Synthetic Chocolate"?

Since you seem to be challenged by the use of qualifiers, let's simplify:

"3. Chocolate

(a) designates the product obtained from cocoa products and sugars which, subject to (b), contains not less than 35 % total dry cocoa solids, including not less than 18 % cocoa butter and not less than 14 % of dry non-fat cocoa solids;"

I can totally see a regulation saying;

"3. tobacco flavour

(a) designates the product obtained from tobacco which contains [....]"

From the pharmaceutical grade unflavored liquid nicotine that was added to their juice would be my best guess.

If it is so much less than smoking, wouldn't these people be getting nic sick from smoking? There was a recent thread where someone got nic sick from licking 1 drop...

What is soy milk and why can it be sold as soy milk? FDA regulation and advertising don't necessarily abide by Google Dictionary; neither does much legislation, hence why bills have a section containing their definitions...

I'm not a Lawyer.

But to me, a "Inhalant Delivery System" is a piece of Hardware when it comes to e-Cigarettes.
Right. An "inhalant delivery system" is a piece of hardware, but the bill doesn't say "inhalant delivery system, [period]." It says "inhalant delivery system, product." An "inhalant-delivery-system product" is a product related to that piece of hardware. And a "flavored inhalant-delivery-system product" is a flavored product, related to the piece of hardware. And that "flavored product" is what would be prohibited by the bill, not the "inhalant delivery system" itself.

Otherwise, please show me an example of a piece of hardware that, by itself, you would classify as a "flavored inhalant delivery system." I suppose you could also parse it as a "flavored inhalant delivery system product" meaning "delivery-system product for a flavored inhalant" but, again, the inclusion of "flavored tobacco products" leads me to believe that's not what they meant, at all. They're trying to ban the flavored products -- tobacco and inhalant-delivery-system alike -- not just the products themselves. If you're going to include all vaporizers in the ban as being "products capable of delivering flavored inhalants," then you also have to ban all pipes and rolling papers too, as being "products capable of holding flavored tobacco."

Let me make it clear: FDA regulations can be whatever they want. They can define "tobacco flavor" as they wish and then apply this meaning to e-liquid too. There's little chance that by just writing "tobacco" on the bottle you would automagically meet their definition and requirements.

I think we are Starting to Dance with Semantics.

Like I said, I would Want a Clarification on this Wording. Because if something in a Law can be Interpreted by the Oregon DOJ and then Supported by the Courts, it doesn't matter what the Original Intent is.
