I don't know how health insurance works exactly, but I imagine that from a bird's-eye point of view they make money by getting members pay to a pool of money from which they pay for medical care of the members when needed and what is left over is profit. So the less money they have to pay out for medical care, the better the profit. If smoking causes health problems, the medical care needed would eat up more money from the pool, so it would be to their advantage to reduce that problem. Just from the cost/benefit ratio, wouldn't the insurance company profit more from insuring 100 vapers than from 100 smokers?

Sar--LOL--you make a great point--try telling that to the insurance companies as it is logical---It is called preventative care, but they will not buy into it. Must be a reason why.

Unfortunately, many claims are denied by the insurance company, especially if it is remotely related to smoking. Hey, premiums are higher for smokers than for non-smokers. And then of course are the pre-existing conditions which the insurance companies won't even touch.

Amen ,

Over the counter means no prescription needed. Thus, if you can purchase on amazon.com it is already OTC. Walgreens and CVS just currently do not carry it.

I have to stop reading all these posts. SO much gloom and doom. Everytime we see something negative about how all e cigs are doomed I think it causes a hasty rush to buy store supplies.

It kinda makes me wonder if Sun and TB are secretly in cahoots with American suppliers. Everyone of their posts must increase sales by about 50%, even if its effect is only transitory.

Please people, we can get steroids and xanex via the internet. You can go to the corner and buy heroine and crack. You can call the neighbor kid and buy some pot. Heck you can go to the head shop and buy a .....

A ban on e-cigs will not make it impossible to buy supplies. It is too popular and the FDA hype has actually increased sales. So in the last month the number of e smokers have increased to over a million in the US. Thanks FDA.

Express yourself to legislators, to the FDA directly, to your clergyman. It all will help in the long run. But stop worrying yourself.

People always get what they want even when everyone else deems it "bad" or "banned" or even "illegal".
