So how does the FDA intend banning Vaporizers.
It is because of the natural progression that people make when moving from one substance to another !. Vaporizers were being used for other things long before being used to deliver nicotine. Nicotine is a drug ! Can you see the connection I am referring to. The FDA is all too aware of this fact. It always ends the same. They dont want it to perpetuate. Nicotine patches and gum arent in the same category because now vapour devices are involved. These devices are linked, in the eyes of the FDA, to drugs. This is not a subject that I am assuming myself. It is the reality that the vaping community is facing at this moment in time. If left unregulated then young people will be encouraged to use vaporizers as an alternative to smoking anything not just e-liquid !. It is about the device itself.
Let me ask you this. If vapour devices didnt exist would young people even think of an alternative ?. If a young person starts using a vapour device because he or she heard about how nice the flavours are then there is nothing stopping them from doing that. And then what ?. Where do they go from there ?. Lets say they start with a cig-alike like everyone does. The next step is something with a bit more of a kick and before they know where they are they have progressed to stage three and are using a high end device like a provari. Thing is now they are seasoned vapers and there is nothing stopping them from finding out what else they can vape. And that would be the next stage. And I am thinking the FDA dont want these options to be available to young people.
Ive read posts here that say the FDA has no reason to be banning these devices. I have just given the reason why the FDA have the power to do that. And I know there are a multitude of arguments defending vapour devices that say they are harmless and so on.
So again, it is not me trying to cause a stir. I am interpreting what is going on in the mind of the FDA. I do realise there is something similar going on in Europe at the moment too. So ask yourself why this is happening. It cannot be just about revenue from tobacco.
I know what you are thinking. That the tobacco companies create too much revenue for their governments for it to be wiped out by this new medium. That is a very real possibility. It sounds more plausible than my previous explanation. But for the FDA to make a decision on this then their reasons would have to be about health. Thats what the FDA does. The FDA is not the government tax department. So for the FDA to be able to be in with a chance of banning vapour devices then their angle is that people will progress to other substances. That is a very real possibility. But you are still right to argue about the loss of revenue there is no doubt about that.
There is a connection between these devices and other vapour devices. You know this. And vaping is considered harmless. Why ?. It is because all the harmful substances that exist in burning tobacco dont exist in vaporized e-liquid. The same could be said for other substances which are already illegal but can also be vaporized in a similar device. Soon people will be able to vaporize a liquid form of the illegal substance made in a similar way to the e-liquid available today. It is just a matter of time before that happens. So in reality it doesnt look good for the vaping community at all.
It is a very real concern for future generations. Am I against the vaping community on this ?. Not at all. I use a device for vaporizing nicotine the same way you do.
In the long term I think that devices that vaporize nicotine arent a viable option for economic reasons. I believe that. But that isnt how its going to be shut down. Is it !?.
If you can think of another valid reason the FDA has to ban vapour devices which makes my explanation seem a ridiculous idea then I would welcome you to enlighten me. Please !.I would agree that this reason is ridiculous. But I cannot think for the life of me why the FDA is involved with making the decision to ban these devices. Products that deliver nicotine are on the shelves and selling quite nicely. So it isnt about banning nicotine, it being a drug, and which is why the FDA is connected to the debate.
Am I missing a fundamental point.? Or am I making sense ?. Do you wonder what might happen if vaping isnt banned ?. Theres a question for you. How might things develop if things are allowed to continue the way they have been for the last few years in the vaping world ?. Maybe you will have to buy a license to carry a vaping device !. That would create revenue for the government and stop young people from using them. Think about how many people that arent licensed would be convicted and fined. That would create revenue too. Not every smoker wants to use a vaporizer so the tobacco companies are relatively safe there. Vapour devices are not taken seriously by most smokers. They are nothing like the real thing amongst other reasons. I for one would still be smoking if it wasnt for health reasons.
So maybe the powers that be will decide on less drastic measures to regulate the use of vapour devices rather than banning them outright. As Ive said there are other options. Maybe you could think of an option or two that you could share here.
Thats how I am seeing things right now. Please respond if you agree or disagree with anything I have written. I may not be available to reply or answer your questions though. Ill see how it goes.
Happy vaping.
