Should I be worried?

FDA. OK.
I'm stressed out now.
I've been smoking for 18 years.
half pack, full pack, up to 2 packs a day!
For 18 years!
I'm 34, that's almost half my life!
Tried the patch: no go.
Tried gum: what a joke.
Tried Chantix: nope, side effects of depression depression depression.
Tried Wellbutrin: could not stop thinking about smoking, got so tired of thinking about it I broke down on the way home from work and stopped by a church that had an AA meeting and stole a .... from the ashtray. Plus accidentally overdosed one day and it was an awful reaction.
Cold turkey?: What are you kidding?
I have never been able to quit.
Until now.
Until e-cigarettes.
When I bought mine, the first thing I thought was "damn, I'm an idiot, I just bought an e-cigarette" then it arrived a week later and the next day, July 9th, I stopped smoking analogs. Today is the 24th. Not one single analog.
I feel great.
I can smoke anywhere I want!
At work, on the subway, in bars, in bed!
Ok, at first I think I was overdoing it... but now I've regulated my intake, it felt... natural... I get to see the light up, I see the smoke, I get to hold it in my hand and go through the ritual, which is so important to addiction... and I feel I'm getting over it. really getting OVER it.
I love vaping, but my plan was to slowly, at MY PACE, reduce the nicotine levels until I was at NONE, and then goodbye to dependancy.
And now today: FDA.
What should I do?
I already spent WAY too much money starting out because I didn't know you could find it cheaper than NJOY...
what do I do now?
I can't afford to stockpile it...
Should I be worried?
My friend tells me he orders Cuban Cigars from Canada...
If he can do that surely I could order more juice,batteries, atomizers, even if it's banned... and IS IT BANNED YET?
I don't want to keep giving my money to Big Tobacco,
but I'm not ready to quit yet.
What do I do?

The stark reality. It would make a good letter to the editor. Who here isn't in this boat or swimming nearby?
