Big tobacco stubs out e-cigarette competitors | The Daily Caller

I am certain that this has been discussed here already. Is there a partition somewhere against what R.J. Reynolds is trying to do?

Actually I don't care whether their e-cig is good or bad. I have a mix feeling about BT getting in the e-cig market. On one hand, with their money and lobbying, they can be strong, positive forces in holding down the government's attempts to over-regulate e-cigarette. But on the other hand, I am feeling that most of the BT companies are just trying to push for regulations that help them to monopolize the market by killing off small vendors; worse, they may start f..king with the e-juices, you know, adding sh.ts in the products to "enhance" them like they do w/ tobacco cig.

Now I say the same thing in every thread I find about BT and vaping, and I will say it once more. BT has to be watched like a hawk. They have and the past and will again use laws and regulation to eliminate competition. They will encourage high taxes and restrictions on production, sales and distribution so that only companies as big as they are can make e-cigs.

They will most likely try and get legal restrictions on nic levels and any DIY supplies they can so that they only option is their pre-fills and disposables.

They are dirty, they play dirty and they have the money to make it happen. We have to stop them by working together to keep the laws and restrictions from going too far. We have in the past and can in the future do this. The fight is not near over yet and we have more then enough people, science and truth behind us.

what the hell? they recently sponsored a bill that could be a fatal blow to e-cigarette vendors in NC.

Man, I'm so annoyed at myself for smoking camels for so many years. Screw you, RJ Reynolds.

How many lies has BT told during its history?
How many acts of deception has BT committed during its history?
How many people have died because of BT, and its lies and deceptions?

BT has had the options, the money and the know-how for DECADES to have created a much safer, much more healthy e-cig -- did they do it? No. Only when other companies and individuals have created the product and BT sees its profits being reduced, do they "care" enough to not only jump on the bandwagon but make assertive attempts to take it over.

To BT, I personally say this: You didn't make it. You didn't earn it. You don't deserve it. What you DO deserve is to lose every single customer now and in the future, to the e-cig industry which absolutely MUST stay out of your dirty hands.
